Annual Meeting of Members

Members of ParkLands Foundation are invited to the Annual Meeting of Members on Sunday, September 14, 2025. This is a free event with the option to purchase lunch ($20) or bring your own.

Our Merwin Preserve South Gate, located at 20183 P J Keller Hwy, Lexington, IL 61753 will be the site for an optional hike at 9:30 a.m. Experienced guides will lead and highlight important features on this 2-mile trail located at the south entrance to the Merwin Preserve. Further details and directions will be sent upon registration.

At 11:30, at the nearby Lexington Community Center, 207 W Main St, Lexington, IL 61753, attendees will have time to visit with various Committee Representatives to learn what these committees do and where to lend your skills. A Tony’s Taco Bar lunch ($20 payment at registration, or bring your own) will take place starting at 12:00 p.m. and presentations will begin shortly thereafter. We’ll look back at the accomplishments of the past year and look ahead to our future. Keynote Speaker David Allen from Conservation Consulting Group will unveil the new ParkLands 5-Year Strategic Plan.
