We did it! We raised our goal when people told us it couldn't be done and we are building our Peninsula Memorial Park tomorrow come rain or shine! After a lot of hard work, a lot of meetings, a lot of fundraisers and a lot of support from everyone who loves this Peninsula we are going to build this park! Congrats to each and everyone of you, you have made this happen. Tomorrow will be a busy day and an emotional one. Your arms may ache, your legs may be tired but when that last bit of dirt is spread and the last nut is tightened you will see something wonderful! And by wonderful we mean our children's smiles as they play, people giving eachother a pat on the back and a park that we ALL built, together! *sniff, sniff
Well, my eyes are filling up as I type because I know after tomorrow afternoon we will have accomplished what we set out to do!
We hope to see you all there to help finish this whirlwind adventure that began just a few months ago on May 5th! Our Peninsula is amazing!
Important things to know:
- Start time @ 8am

- Everyone will be assigned a Team Leader who will give you further instruction when on the feild
- Lunch break approx. 11-2pm with snacks and water available all day
