Praise the Lord for a Playground!
We put out the word on Monday about the possibility of purchasing a playground for the children of CTR. And you responded! The full $2,000 was given/pledged within 24 hours!! Yesterday I went back to the owner and gave her a check for $1,000. We'll pay the other $1,000 when we pick up the playground.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - for all of you who gave so generously!
A few quick follow-up items:
Ed T. has agreed to be the Engineering Lead. We are so grateful, and know that Ed will make sure the job gets done right ... with no parts left over at the end, and everyone scratching their head - "I wonder where that was supposed to go!"
We still need a Volunteer Coordinator - who will just get everyone to the right location, on the right day (which is yet to be determined), etc. Please contact us if you can do this job.
We also need a couple more volunteers. We have two in addition to Ed, and probably could use two more.
If you pledged, you can redeem your pledge at any time. How to do that? I'm not sure! We've never done a pledge campaign before :-) We'll investigate send out instructions to those of you who pledged.
