Our playground is opened, but still "a work in progress". Thank you to all that donated and volunteered. The handicap accessible swings should be put up before the end of May, thanks to Juan Caba, and the men in the Buildings and Grounds department.  We are still in need of volunteers.  The Tot Lot still needs a crawl tunnel, the Tic-Tac-Toe board needs to be created and hung up, and a few other parts still need to be built. There is painting and resealing that needs to be done, too.
The picket fence inscribing is moving along thanks to the Eastern Correctional Staff.  If you know how to router letters into wood please write to us on the contact us page.
 
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY!!
