On behalf of our entire committee, we would like to personally thank each and every member who supported the decision to make a $1,000.00 donation to our skate park fund! This FINALLY brings our grand total to just over $10,000.00! Wow! All our hard work is starting to pay off. It's so hard to keep kids focused on a project like this, as it seems to take forever to reach a goal so large. But with the kind donations that we receive from folks like the Lions Club and Yale Chamber of Commerce, it really boosts the spirits and renews our common goal. ;)
Thanks so much for the generosity of all the people and groups that have helped us along the way.
