Planning and Building the Temporary Park

The fundraiser with Martin Elementary (see entry below) went really well. Please thank the students there if you see them...this park is for them and they did awesome. The school had almost $6100 in candle sales and after everyone got their cut plus the cost of the product, we came out with about $1000. This may not seem like much, but it helps us pay for the temporary park insurance ($125) and gives us some money to buy things we can't find or get donated to us. So, what are we going to do with that money? Build the temporary park!

We'll be meeting this Friday, April 8 at 5 pm. in the parking lot at Cumberland Worship Center across from the VF Factory Outlet mall. We'll start doing the planning and laying out of the park and how we plan on operating it until the City builds the permanent park.

On Saturday, April 23 we will be meet at the Cumberland Worship to begin building the temporary park. We'll start around 8 a.m. and work until it gets dark or we are done. There is a list of items we need folks to bring on the skatepark website here>>. If you will be responsible for keeping up with the tools you bring and operating them (if they are power tools). Everyone will need to sign a form to participate in the build. Please ask you parents if they would be willing to help.

Most importantly, we need you to bring scrap lumber that you or your friends or your businesses or your neighbors may have lying around that they can donate to the park. Please drop the lumber off at Cumberland Worship Center's parking lot (far end next to the fence) any time during the day. Tell your friends too.

Check the site for details later next week and get ready to build.
