Why put off until tomorrow, what you can do today.

With fundraising going so well in May, and hopefully to continue into the fall, it was decided why not move up the 'build date' for the park. This was largely thanks to a large donation from my Great-Grandmother Bertha Clarke's estate -we secured our plan to build next May long weekend. This was terribly exciting for me, as our initial goal was to have the park built sometime by August 2009! However, thanks to the generosity of our family, friends and the community we have now reached $27,000 and have decided that the build date for the park will now be the September long weekend 2008!!!! A year ahead of our initial goal! The amazing thing about this project is we have only received $400 total from official 'corporate' donations and $0 from government etc.

We are really hoping to raise a lot of money at our golf tournament, however, we haven't had many people register thus far. Thanks to Jenna @ C95, they along with their sister stations will spread the word. We are very excited about this tournament as it should be a great afternoon of fun, very laid back golf, friends and food! ALSO we have the generous support of Callaway golf! Every attendee to the golf tournament will get a little 'thank you' gift for just coming out. If you know anyone interested in coming out for 9 holes, texas scramble & supper (not to mention prizes on 6 holes for closest to the pin and other prizes!) PLEASE spread the word!! They can email Grant @ grantryde@sasktel.net to register.

Back to the park- I spent almost $6000 on park equipment today! This is just for 'the little extras' for the park, in addition to the main structure and swings from Blue Impe that we are ordering asap. Below is a picture of the main structure, designed with Reece in mind. We tried to have a component of music (she loved the sound of a piano) and lots of crawling/climbing stuff!
Hopefully it will be a hit!!
