Volunteers Needed
To Bui/d Creative
Pfajrground in Drums
by Scott R. Hnasko
On Wednesday, October 17, the
Drums Elementary School and its sur
rounding community will begin a five
day project which hopes to brighten the
lives of pre-schoolers through adoles
cents.
It is a project to build a creative
playground, and it is a project that looks
toward local residents and Penn State
students for volunteers.
Patty Loll and Barbara Franzosa,
co-ordinators ot the project, are building
the playground to provide a safe, fun
filled area for all ages to enjoy during
and after school hours.
Loll and Franzosa are working with
Robert S. Leathers & Associates of
Ithaca, New York, an architectural firm
who has designed and supervised the
construction of over 500 of these crea
tive playgrounds throughout the nation.
According to officials of the Leathers
firm, each creative playground is a
multi-level wooden structure with lad
ders, ramps, and other such features.
This past spring, an architect from
the firm visited the elementary school
and custom-designed a playground sui
table for the location and the children it
will serve.
Loll states that the final element
in the project is the most crucial -
volunteers. Approximately 1,000 volun
teers will be needed to make the project
a success.
Volunteers will be able to choose the
days and times they will work. Days
range from Wednesday, October 17, to
Sunday, October 21; and work shifts are
available from S: 00 a.m. to 12:00 noon,
12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m.
until dark. Free lunches will be given to
all workers at the conclusion of every
work shift.
Workers are needed for construc
tion, set-up, child care, and other areas.
Anyone interested in volunteering
for the project or wishing more informa
tion can contact any of the clubs on
campus or call 7##-390<> or 7ss-2786.
