On behalf of the Let Them Be Kids organization, and the local Elbow playground committee, I would like thank you for helping with the outstanding effort on Saturday, May 12.Your community was absolutely amazing! I would suggest that your collective efforts sent out a ripple of hope, that will affect your community for years to come, I encourage you to remember the spirit and sense of community you felt that day and draw upon that as you all work together to build a thriving community for the kids and families of today and for the generation to come.

One More Sleep...

Yahoooooo - Tomorrow is BUILD DAY!!!!!!
Don't Forget...
Please print the wavier form that was attached to your volunteer email you received yesterday - and bring it filled out, but unsigned, to the registration table tomorrow, this is the only way you will be able to work. By having it filled out in advance it will make the process of registration smooth and easy…

Other News...
Don't forget that there will be a Pancake Breakfast at the Elbow Civic Centre on tomorrow morning starting at 6:30am. The Lunch and Supper will be served at the park!!

Registration will be set and ready to go at 8:00am tomorrow (May 12th) at the Elbow Elevator - feel free to come a bit early so that you can get to work right at 8am!! The forecast still looks great - but as we all know, that can change at any moment in Saskatchewan... so don't forget to pack some extra clothes - just in case! Please don’t forget to bring your wheelbarrows, spades, rakes, pails and garden tools! And bring your work gloves too...  save your hands! Oooo and guess what - there will be a great children's area in the park (arranged supervision starts at 10am) so that kids can play and have fun throughout Build Day!! Opening Ceremonies are set for around 3:00 or 3:30 if all goes well - you will not want to miss that - or the volunteer group photo!!
This has been quite the journey... we thank you so much for all of your commitment to this project, and for believing that projects like this, really can change the world. Thank you for giving back to our community, and for donating your time, talent and treasure to make this dream, become a reality!
The greatest accomplishments in life are not achieved by individuals alone, but by proactive people pulling together for a common good. Our mission in life is to offer our gifts to benefit one another, to create mutual gain in the world.
That quote says it all - and we will prove it tomorrow, when we join together to do something amazing for our kids and our community!!
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS OF THE PARK!!!
