This week I was contacted by someone in Copper Harbor helping to raise the money needed for a new playground for the harbor. She wanted to take out an ad to say this:
This past January when we started fundraising, Vicki and Ken at the Pines were kind enough to let me solicit funds from our dining patrons. I didn't hit them with a hard sell, just presented them with a playground envelope, told them a little about the project and asked if they could help out with a donation. If they could, great! If they chose not to, we totally understood. The majority of our donors during that time were snowmobilers. Through their generosity, we were able to raise $7000 just from the Pines patrons alone! We were overwhelmed!!!"
I said I thought her thanks would get seen by more if I put it in the journal and on the discussion board, so this is the discussion board part.
Awesome job folks! The playground is going to cost a total of $145,000 (who'd of thunk they were that much, eh !?) and they have been able to raise $100,000 of that so far. If you want to read more about the project, you can visit the website that they have set up for the project and also have a Facebook page.
