We are all very busy this time of year but the Darwell Betterment keeps on trying to come up with fundraising ideas to make this project a reality. This is not just about a playground for all of us. It is about this community and the wonderful people who live in it. It is about teaching our children the value of hard work and that together we can achieve anything we put our hearts into.
We would like to accomplish so much more then the playground, we would love a picnic area for families to come and enjoy an afternoon with their family. A community garden to teach the children how to grow and care for something and to involve other members of the community with the children.
The Grade 7 & 8 class held a Wake-A-Thon on Friday. We do not have the numbers in yet but it was sounding very promising.
There are hands available for purchase at the Darwell Store and they will then be added to the children's hand prints and used as the ribbon on our build day September 24, 2011.
Keep looking in for updates on what we are working on next or where you can come out and meet some of our hard working members. Please remember that just because it is summer holidays for the kids we will still be working very hard all summer. We thank each and everyone of you who has helped us get that much closer to seeing our dreams become reality.
