It appears that over 100 nonprofit organizations are left golding an empty bag after SF Parks Alliance declared bankruptcy. Ildiko is leading an effort to solve the plight of the victims of the SF Parks Alliance scheme that is putting a lot of non-profit organizations at risk of insolvency. She could not be available for the July 15th meeting, so we are changing the dates to meet her availability. The supervisors will be on their summer break so may have the opportunity to hear about the investigations into the SF Parks Alliance questionable relationships with City Agencies and Departments.
