Annie’s
Playground Work Parties are Amazing!
The
July 24-25 weekend work party was so successful, we have
to cancel all future work parties*. The marvelous, incredible,
tireless, and heat resistant volunteers have, over the last
two weekends, completed all the planned community work!
Through
the record breaking heat of our second weekend, our amazing
volunteers logged over 500 hours and completed all of the
community work that can be scheduled at this time. We even
finished early and were all packed up at noon on Sunday.
The
Play Party activity area was again amazingly facilitated
by the volunteers who encouraged all the young artists in
attendance.
The
highly efficient work party members were powered by generous
donations from Costco Bakery, Dick’s Burgers, Domino’s,
Starbuck’s, Metropolitan Market, Safeway and LOTS
of water. Thanks to our refreshment volunteers who staved
off any heat induced injuries by keeping everyone fully
charged.
Again, we wish to thank Home Depot for providing drills,
a generator, ladders, and other items for a successful weekend.
If
you take a look at the playground today you will see the
tot structure, the galaxy, and the large structure are all
but finishing touches completed. Caves were completed last
week by artists Jolly Miller and Steve Roache.
You
will also see large piles of rocks and dirt, cement forms,
and a parking lot in the midst of repaving, so there is
still a lot of work to be done by the contractors before
the playground will be open – early September is the
latest target.
Stay
tuned to this web page for more information, work party
updates, playground progress, and completion dates.
Lost
items: please contact Tammie Conder at 206-526-2970 –
a large assortment of gloves, a few tools, and child area
items are being held for their owners.
Your
generosity of time, sweat, money, and spirit are a part
of this great new playground. Thank you!
