Last but not least, a couple of little girls deserve a round of applause for their hard work in helping to raise $500 for the playground and park! Here is what they did...
Katie and Carleigh Robinson raised the bar on their fundraising goal to a total of $500.  After already raising $300 on 2 separate lemonade sales – the girls raised an additional $200 selling 100 homemade candy kabobs over the past 2 weeks.  Thanks to Aunt Rita & cousin Max in NB for the great idea (even though it was a whole lot of skewering, wrapping, & curling ribbons!) and special thanks to the Shriners Park campers who supported our fundraiser this past weekend.  The girls also helped out Not Fussea by helping deliver 30+ flyers to the Shriners promoting the concert last Saturday night.  The campers were very happy to hear about the project and many look forward to seeing the new park!
Great job girls and thank you so much for working so hard over the last couple of months to help raise money for the park! You both have helped us reach our goal and we know you both will love the new playground! :-)
WOW! What an amazing day! Not only have we raised over $11,000 this week but we have raised over $65,000 since May 5th, 2011!!! We did all this in a little over 4 months and this is not the best part, we are going to build our park in 1 day!!! We hope you will all join us on what is going to be an incredible day! See you all there! :-)
