A New Feature: Video in Clark Park

Thanks to sites such as Youtube and Google Video, people can share their video projects with the rest of the world. We've taken advantage of this to circulate recordings of a recent General Membership Meeting, and a short documentary on our tree planting efforts.

But we're not the only ones with cameras in Clark Park. So we'll be adding links to whatever videos we find on the Web, and if you have one you want to share, let us know at focpweb@clarkpark.info.

If the embedded video doesn't work, clicking on the titles will take to to the host pages. These are listed as they've been added, most recent videos first:

Unidos Filadelfia Bateria (3 parts)

On August 3rd, 2008, the Unidos Filadelfia Bateria performed in Clark Park.

Farmer's Markets: Building Communities:

In this episode of Dialogue for Donors, PhilanthroMedia travels to Philadelphia, PA, where The Food Trust makes great strides to combat urban food deserts by sponsoring local farmers markets. (FoCP President Frank Chance, billed as "market volunteer," and Farmer Gina Humphreys get face time here.)
