We extend our congratulations to all the nominees in every category. Their accomplishments and achievements are inspiration to all of us as we continue to work for the betterment of our community.
In the summer of 2010, the Pacific Rim Parks will continue to pursue an ambitious park building project, creating the next park on the island of Jeju in South Korea. We will keep you posted as it advances to the planning stage.
As I shared with you before, I attended the opening of the 5th Pacific Rim Park in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines on May 30th 2009. It was successfully opened! The works of all the participants from around the world were very impressive. See “Blog” at http://www.prppearls.blogspot.com/ and visitwww.pacificrimpark.org for more information.
