$55,000 and counting!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

It's not a matter of if we will reach our goal, it's a matter of WHEN! Today was a great day for our playground and park as numerous donations were dropped off at the Venture Credit Union, Holy Cross School and the Town of Eastport Council Office.
The grand total for today's donations was $2337.75 making our new total $55, 134.23 !!! Isn't this incredible? We are only $9865.77 away. Think about it, that's only 100 more people donating $100 or 200 people donating $50! Nothing to it sure!
Well, let's take a look at who helped out today shall we?

A huge thank you to the following people for your support and generosity:

  • Beatrice Powell happily gave a donation today of $50 to help our playground and park.
  • Two sisters, Shalynn and Shauna Harvey of Sandringham gave a combined donation of $100 today to help build the playground. I know they both can't wait for the playground to be built so they have somewhere to play when they go to school. Only a couple of more weeks girls!
