Subject: Mordecai Mini Park fundraising
efforts - $1300
During
the past year, the Mordecai Parks Committee in conjunction with our
CAC has been working with the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation
department to plan and renovate the Mordecai Mini Park.
This park is located at the corner of Blount and Poplar Streets,
adjacent to Hope Elementary School.
Extensive renovations have been undertaken, including
the construction of a new toddler play area, new sidewalks, entry
area, and fencing, new picnic decks and tables, and new GameTime play
equipment. Some old equipment has been refurbished, and the park has
been graded and finished with new sand, mulch, and retaining walls.
This work is near completion,
and after our community volunteer day in April the park will be
finished and ready for our neighborhood children to enjoy.
Our community has been very fortunate to have the
expertise of Shawsheen Baker, landscape architect, and Cindy
Trumbower, volunteer services director. These individuals along with
others in the city parks department have been instrumental in
obtaining funds and informing the members of the parks committee of
various grants that were received.
Because of these funds and grants, the costs of this
major park update have largely been covered. The Parks Committee,
once faced with raising thousands of dollars, is now responsible for
raising just $1300! By raising this money, we are fulfilling our
requirement from the Park and Greenway Improvement application we
applied for last August.
We are asking
for donations from individuals and businesses to meet our goal of
$1300. This money will be spent
on landscaping and furnishings for the completion of the park.
Thank you for your help with these fundraising efforts. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
