Island Volunteers Build Playground

Here's another reason I cherish this island & it's life style.

Three days is all it took. It goes to show what people can accomplish when they come together for a common goal. Our island Rotary donated the money for materials to build a children's playground, then the call went out for volunteers. They ended up with a large group of enthusiastic workers, primarily parents.

I read about this venture in the local newspaper but I had no idea how extensive this playground would be until I drove by every day & it came alive before our eyes. The weather the second day could have been better, but on the third day it was cold, with sheets of rain compounding everyone's misery. Still, it's a story these people won't soon forget, & they have every reason to be proud. I'm anxious to see how attendance at the park holds up because so far it's been packed every day that weather permits. (We're still having what I guess is supposed to be April showers!)
