The great news is that we have raised the needed money for the Jacksonville, Oregon Elementary School playground equipment, ordered the equipment and it will be arriving July 18! Now, we need support to install it.
Andy Batzer, general contractor, is helping to coordinate our Installation Weekend. We are looking to YOU, our Jacksonville Community Leaders, to help us fill in the blanks. If you are able to commit any of your time on Installation Weekend, July 20-22 (7:00am-7:00pm), please come out and build the playground with us.
We are needing multiple shifts of 30+ people over the course of the weekend. In order to support our crews, we need to provide them with food, water, music, and shaded areas. Please see the list below and let me know if you can donate or provide any elements.
Music – stereo system will be provided
Food – Alyson Fowler Coordinator
– Fruit or snack trays
– Cookies or treats
– Lunch items for 30 – 40 on Friday or Saturday
– Dinner items for 30 – 40 on Friday or Saturday
– Morning snacks for 30 – 40 on Friday, Saturday or Sunday
Water
– coolers
– ice
– bottled water
Shade
6+ portable shade tents ( like they use at sporting events)
There will be an informational evening, Tuesday July 17 at 6:30 pm at the school. Please plan to attend. I will also be circulating a “Tool List” so we can have as many hands going as we can. No experience is necessary to help with this project. We will be creating teams with experienced leaders. Everyone is welcome. There are jobs for the smallest to the tallest!!
Please contact me by July 16 if you can help in any way.
Thanks from the KIDS!!
