Thank you to everyone who came out last night to our announcement. The support from the community was simply amazing to see.In adding all the names to the master list, I think every family that attended also joined the effort.
There were a few fantastic things that happened that I would like to mention here. Sorrento's playground committee, as well as helping us as they already have, donated $500 to our fund. Spa Hills Farms will be donating their equipment and trucks for all the construction needs. Riverside Meats has very generously offered us all the meat for our build day...which by the way means you will be eating very well so I'd be signing up if I were you. Ed & Vicki Reierson have also offered any equipment they have that can be used as well. Like I said, community support is amazing.
We also had Barb Brouwer out last night. Bard is a reporter for the Salmon Arm Observer and will be writing up a piece on our getting a playground. Thank you for coming out Barb.
A few things that were asked last night:
donations online: we are working on clearing everything with the school board on having paypal set up on this site
fundraising thermometer: will be up over the weekend, there will also be one at the school as well
business donations: businesses who donate will have their company logo placed on the website here
all donations: as we are a non profit group, all your donations are tax deductible and you are able to receive a tax receipt for it.
