Please email, write, call or fax Mayor Meeker to thank him for his continued support of creating a world-class destination park on the Dix campus. #3 Action Alert! Contact Senator Neal Hunt (Wake County) to thank him for publically supporting the Dix Park. Senator Hunt publically announced his support for a world-class destination park on the Dix campus at the Raleigh City Council meeting on June 18th. Support from elected officials is crucial to our efforts to support us and it is important to acknowledge those willing to stand up and support Dix Park.
