Our speaker will be Trudi Smith, who is Director of PR and Events for Buffalo Bayou Partnership. Buffalo Bayou Partnership is the non-profit organization revitalizing and transforming Buffalo Bayou, Houston’s most significant natural resource. Buffalo Bayou Partnership is Moving East and Moving Forward. The Partnership wants to hear the community's priorities as it develops the five-mile stretch of the bayou from US 59 to the Port of Houston Turning Basin. How do you want BBP and its partners to invest their time and resources – in parks, in trails, in affordable housing? How important are sites for recreation, festivals, community gardens? This is YOUR opportunity to let BBP know which features and activities you value the most. Ann Olson, president of the BBP will show us concepts and discuss recent real estate acquisitions on the East End, particularly Turkey Bend (If you have looked out the back of Leslie's warehouse, you have seen Turkey Bend.)
