With warmer weather and longer evenings on the horizon, it's time once again for Yoga in the Park. Join us and our favorite yoga instructor Kristin Strellis for a gentle yoga class designed to improve your flexibility, balance and relaxation. All necessary equipment is provided. All you need to bring is yourself, dressed in comfortable clothing, and any stress or worries that have accumulated throughout the week to release outdoors in the beautiful Guadalupe Park. This class will be taught outside. More info.
Sustaining Donations
We rely on individuals, corporations, and foundations for operating support for our education, advocacy and stewardship efforts.
We've upgraded our donation system to allow for sustaining gifts, so now you can choose to have your credit card automatically charged once a year, or spread out the generosity over 12 months (or even quarterly). Check out our donation page to see all the different ways you can give, or just go straight to the general donation page to set up your recurring donation.
Volunteer Corner
Meet Volunteer Bruce Victorine
After 33 years in the fast paced high tech world, Bruce decided to retire and, fortunately for us, volunteer. Bruce participated in our Christmas bird counts in the past and it was through this he learned of the Conservancy. When Bruce first came in, he said 'put me to work' and so far he has helped with the Heritage Rose Garden and Historic Orchard, our Water Wizards Festival, and in several other areas. Bruce lives in San Jose with his middle school teacher wife Allie and enjoys riding his bike when he comes into the office. Congratulations on your retirement, Bruce, and thanks for being so generous with your newly acquired free time.
Legacy Giving
Please consider a bequest to GRPC as part of your estate plan. There's no minimum amount required. In fact, you can specify any dollar amount, leave a percentage of your estate, or designate what remains after your estate has been settled. Here's some sample language:
I give to Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, a California non-profit corporation (Tax ID 77-0166797), $_______ or _____% of my estate or ____% of the residue of my estate. I intend this gift to be used for an endowment that will support Guadalupe River Park Conservancy in perpetuity OR I intend this gift to be used at the Board of Directors' discretion.
