P.S. . the playground consultants have requested that a few early-birds show up at the community center at 7am, to help them get things rolling for the 8am crowd.

p.s.s.
a big thanks goes out to Phil and Cheryl Sullivan  who have generously donated the weekend use of their island cottage for the two playground consultants who will be in charge of the project on june 22-23. another big thanks goes out to George Amato, , who assisted with the initial site work, and his wife Pipsa, who has offered to photograph the event from start to finish.

NEEDED:  Anyone who might have a small cement mixer that we could use for the playground installations, we would appreciate it if you could donate it for these two days,  June 22-23rd….
