Dear Friends,
There is some good news to report on the playground. After my last update, I visited all the local businesses that sell mulch. Our local Lowe's Home Improvement Store was the most accomodating. They were willing to sell us all the rubberized mulch we need for $3000, which is less than half of what I estimated! This will leave $1200 for the other items on my wish list. I was prepared to order the match, but was asked by the Executive Director to wait until a sidewalk could be put in near the boundary of the playground. The playground is on a slight slope and the sidealk will keep the mulch from washing away when it rains. The sidewalk was installed in August.
Unfortunately, I had to go on unanticipated medical leave in mid-September. I gave all the information for ordering the mulch from Lowe's to the CFO. I was told the mulch would be ordered and spread on the playground by the time I go back to work in late October. I look forward to seeing that!
