Thanks to the tireless efforts of people, too many to mention, and of course contributions of money and materials, we have raised the $30,000.00 necessary to. bring this dream of a pretty, fun, child-proof playground to a reality. The leg work is done and now it is time to think about applying the muscle needed to build our playground. A new site has been chosen which the architect and committee feel will suit our needs even better. It has been all staked out and next month we hope to erect a sign at the new site. Drive by and check it out! Our construction manager has been chosen. Her is Larry Dauksis of the Dauksis Construction Company and he will be coordianting the building effort. Kathy Graham and Mary Blaze have volun- teered to act as coordinators for our volunteers (and we hope to sign up many people) during the Major May Day Weekend. A meal after every shift - what more could you ask? 5 Construction will be scheduled for May 12, 13, 14 and 15. Shifts will be scheduled through the morning and during the day. It will be a major undertaking, but think of it as an Amish Barn Raising. People building similar playgrounds around the country have nothing but great things to say about spending time creating an attractive, safe play area for their children. It has been proven to be a lot of fun for everyone and think of the people you will meet working side by side. We have something for everyone to do. It’s not too early to mark May Day Weekend on your calendar. More information will follow as our weekend draws near. So, as you see, muscle at this point in time is as important as money. We will need your help, so please look for the detailed information to be mailed home in February. Pick a time to work, and have a wonderful feeling to boot! . Ann Naughton of Malcom’s, Dallas.
