On the September Long Weekend Saje' and Jubilee Muraski held a community yard sale to raise money for the playground and Fitness Park Build. Saje' was so pleased with the results that she held the yard sale open all week and over the following weekend as well. Jubilee sat patiently all week, all day long selling yummy peach ice tea and raised $32.50 which will be automatically doubled by Let Them Be Kids. Saje' did so much evangelizing about the project that her visiting God Son wrote a cheque for $250 and he does not even live here!! All told over the ten day sale, including Jubilee's ice tea, Saje's God Son's donation and the yard sale profits, Saje' generated just under $800 for our playground build! That is truly amazing and heart warming. Remember that this will be doubled so now we have the purchasing power for $1600 worth of equipment. That is not all folks. I have discovered that this time next fall we can apply for the Community Spirit grant based on all
individuals/private donations for 2011. It will be based on a percentage depending on how many communities apply up to a total of $25,000. What this means is that Saje' and Jubilee's $800 will receive another match as would your personal donation. That is amazing that such an endeavour can generate so much for our park.
Thank you Saje' and Jubilee. I will think of you and your dedication to our community every time I use the park. This may spark your own ideas for fund raising towards our cause. The date is coming very quickly with our build day being Saturday October 15th! Please donate now... You may drop your donation off at the Village office or give Michele and Tony a call at 403-558-2158. Wow... where else can $1 suddenly become $2 and maybe even $3(dependant on the Community Spirit grant)
Please remember we need about 200 volunteers for Build day. It is very easy to sign up and we need to hear from you now so we can make arrangements to feed all of our hard working volunteers. Just click on the sign up now button located on the top right side of this website.
