Those wonderful people over at the Woodall Rodgers Park (pictured) Foundation have just added three great additions to its board. They are. . . drum roll, please!

  • Nancy Best, president of the Shelter Ministries
  • Garrett Boone, chairman emeritus of The Container Store and
  • Jeff Jackson, executive VP of Corporate Business Development for Sabre Holdings

The new kids-on-the-park join Chairman Jody Grant, President Linda Owen, Leo Corrigan, Ed Fjordbak, Sheila Grant, John Muse, Rob Walters, and John Zogg.

The group has their work cut out for them. Their goal for the entire board is to raise $30M for the 5.2-acre deck park between Pearl and St. Paul, just down the road from D‘s international headquarters. With this high-powered group shaking the money trees, it will happen, but don’t rush over just yet for two reasons.

  1. Park isn’t slated for completion until 2012.
  2. The TX DOT folks are closing a frontage road lane this Saturday.

Congratulations to all except those stuck in the Saturday traffic jam!
