For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,500. It will serve about 176 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in December 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,500 goes: • Permits and inspections: $165 • Tools hire and delivery: $220 • Materials: $2,115 Thanks for being kind about this. - Wilma
