Salt Springs State Park receives almost no state support — and because it is a state park it is not permitted to charge fees for admission. So, the Friends of Salt Springs Park have relied on membership dues and donations to finance the maintenance of the 842 acres and 12 buildings that make up the Park. HOWEVER, there are not enough members (at least not yet), and the dues go only so far. We are now faced with a looming deficit and are embarked on an emergency campaign to raise $25,000. That is why we are turning to you for help.
Our costs are outstripping our revenue. Attendance has more than doubled since 2005 — we estimate that almost 20,000 people will visit this year. Our website has received almost as many hits since the beginning of April as it did during all of 2007. And our growth in campers is off the charts. Something is happening here. The Park has become a significant Susquehanna County destination, for county residents and for many people from outside the area as well. But, thrilled though we are with our booming popularity, we also must sadly acknowledge that this is too much to manage with just volunteers. We have turned to a handful of part-time staffers, but they cost money — not a lot, but more than our current income can sustain.
PLEASE HELP US BY MAKING A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION NOW! Friends of Salt Springs Park
