More Donations Are Still Required • At the time of the public canvass of the community, a number of people indicated they would make a donation when the project got under way. Any further donations from these people will be greatly appreciated at this time.

Any gift, however small or large, will be gratefully accepted. • There will be no further canvass of the entire area on a door-to-door basis, but the committee would like to raise $5,000 through this public appeal!
