Throwback Thursday - All the way back to our founding in 1981!

Updated: Feb 27

We've uncovered two amazing gems from our organizations archives. A paste up of the first flyer for the first meeting of the group on October 21, 1981. Our founder Thomas Kiel MD was a Columbia University undergraduate at the time. Here is the paste up in all of its glory."A brand new park is coming"



Exactly one year later Tom and the original Friends of Morningside Park published a report that gave a great summary of what they had already accomplished and where they were headed. We hope you will download it. It is well worth the read!



In December 1982 FMP received 501c3 status which we retain to this day. Here are two pages from our Certificate of Incorporation.
