Fundraising is a Success! Now we need your help for construction!

4/19/06:  News from Jenny Miles:
We have had a few changes to the playground plans--here is the new plan.

Sat April 22-- 9-12 Augar holes: We will only be needing a few people, if you are scheduled for that day, I will be contacting you
Fri April 28 -- 7pm Need about 5 to7 people to move equipment from Melissa's to playground.  If you haven't been able to help on the install day, this would be perfect.  Please give me a call if you can help.
Sat April 29 9-5 Install day--stays the same
Sun May 7th 1-5 Lay landscape cloth & mulch & borders

This is what we were planning to do on the 22, but we found out that this is better to do after.  I am needing fresh volunteers for this date.  Please contact me if you are avaiable.

With the help of the neighborhood and corporate sponsors, the playground committee was able to purchase a new play system. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated or helped in any way. We do have a small shortfall on our budget, so if you have not donated this would be a great time to consider making a financial contribution. We are now ready to install the system and are in need of volunteers. . We are hoping to complete site preparation and equipment installation over the weekends of April 22nd and April 29th - weather permitting. Here is a description of our plans, and who we would need to help.

April 22nd : - Volunteers to lay landscape cloth and site prep. (This would be a perfect community service project for a neighborhood high schooler.)

April 29th and 30th: Saturday-CONSTRUCTION DAY-Construction of play set & moving swings--At least 10 adult volunteers and a supervisor (Someone with construction experience to oversee the job) Sunday-Volunteers to spread mulch (highschoolers would be great)

Be on the look out for an info drop with the corporate sponsors and more playground details coming soon.

If you would be interested in helping in any way please call Jenny Miles @ 367-7429 or email mmiles@netzero.net. Thank you very much.

 



 

You helped us met our goal of $5500 by 10/31/05!

Please post our tremendous appreciation for everyone's generosity & support! We plan to install this Spring!
