Keep Lichgate fairies, labyrinth, and caretakers on the grounds

Thank each & every one who responded to this petition. In the haste to place a voice for the community online, the original petition was not as clear as it should have been and to address that here is the current situation and a call to help.

Lichgate on High Road is owned & maintained by the Laura Jepsen Institute. All work on the site and its entire small budget comes from donations and volunteers. Since it is entirely community supported, the Board of the Laura Jepsen Institute should be open to the needs & desires of the people who support the park and ultimately answerable to community.

Recently the Board has evolved through death and resignations to consist of a majority from one family. This family has a "vision" of what Lichgate should become, what features should be on site, and what level of maintenance should be undertaken. When opposition was voiced to this "vision", the Board banned the current caretaker from the property in an effort to ensure silence and compliance.

The Board is out-of-compliance with many of its own bylaws and various regulations of the State of Florida. Among these items are barring individuals from Board meetings, a majority from one family on the Board and an incomplete number of Board members to be a legal board.

For any of these issues to be addressed we need to raise all of our voices and simply ask to be heard. We ask that you reach out to the current Board members and express your concerns.
