Playground for Day Care
Lots of volunteer time and effort for this project by
Lowes Heroes, Knife River Corporation, St. Peter's Church members.
Our special thanks to all of those involved in this endeavor

Lowes is finishing up the playground for the day care at the Richards Center. Knife River Corporation provided the sand for the base, did the digging for fall protection, fencing, and put in the base, fall protection and hauled away the debris. Lowes Heroes spread the materials in the play area. Kilmer-Waldock Recycled Tires, LLC from Lusk donated the fall protection. Lowes artists are painting a mural on the west wall by the playground!! Lowes Heroes volunteers have put in alot of time in all areas of the play ground and they donated the fencing and the privacy strips for the fince, a picnic table, bench, and flower boxes. They will also be putting a shade cover over the picnic table, and add some additional play equipment. The playground is fantastic -- the best looking playground in town. Watch for playground ribbon cutting in mid-October -- date will be published as soon as it is definite.

A crew from St. Peter's Church, led by Dan Clark, put the playground equipment together. Dan made the initial contact with Kilmer-Waldock Recycled Tires for the fall protection.

Picture below left shows fall protection provided by Kilmer-Waldock Recycled Tires, LLC., and the sand for the base provided by Knife River Corporation.

WEEK-END AND HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Saturday volunteers are needed at the Welcome Mat - there are 2 shifts - from 9:00 a.m. until noon and from noon until 3:00 p.m. Potential volunteers will need to come by the WCH Offic4e, 907 Logan Avenue, Monday - Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. for more information and training.

While it may seem early to be talking about the need for volunteers during the holidays it really isn't!!!! The holidays are a great time for clubs, families, and all kinds of groups to come in to the Welcome Mat, work a shift checking people in, visiting and seeing that everyone gets some of the special foods and gifts. There is some minor training for these shifts. If a holiday volunteer decides later to become a regular week-end volunteer there will be some additional training.

There are 2 shifts for each of the days, see below, that volunteers are needed - 9 until noon, and noon until 3. Sunday is 9 until 1. Dates volunteers are needed: November 25, 26, 27, 28. December dates are: December 23, 24, 25, 26. A volunteer is also needed for January 1, 2010.

Speical foods are also need for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Gift will be needed to be given out on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Those families, clubs, groups, individuals interested in finding out more about these times and/or signing up for a shift should contact Virginia at 634-8499.
