For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 420 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $2,050 goes: • Materials: $910 • Permits and inspections: $250 • Safety equipment and signage: $410 • Tools hire and delivery: $480 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Piper
