Messina
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,900. It will serve about 417 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,900 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $450 • Permits and inspections: $85 • Materials: $1,365 With deep gratitude, Pietro
