Lisa described her logo as one that captured the highlights of Mexico Point Park, including the wooden statues. She selected the statue of Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, then included a wave from Lake Ontario, with droplets symbolizing the volunteers who make Mexico Point Park special, finishing with a tree that emphasizes the natural beauty of our park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also thank everyone who entered our contest. We received many delightful and creative entries. While this made our selection process quite challenging, we are confident that Lisa&#8217;s design will best represent the Friends of Mexico Point Park. We look forward to seeing this logo in many different places in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Newsletters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The Friends of Mexico Point Park, Inc. publishes a newsletter from time to time.
