The Central Park Conservancy, whos' mission is to restore, manage, and preserve Central park, is making their top priority recruiting and educating the park's next generation of supporters. On Thursday night, the CPC invited a group of young New Yorkers with love for the park (and those CPC party invites) to join the newly established Greensward Circle for the CPC's annual "I Heart Central Park" benefit at the Charles A. Discovery Center. If you are a young professional under the age of 35 and interested in being a part of the Greensward Circle, you will get the opportunity to help preserve the park and it will also score you an invite to the infamous Halloween Ball...

...a bash that is certainly not to be missed and possibly the motivation behind some of Greensward Circle's newest members.
