Date change

We have had some difficulties with securing the land where we are building the playground. We are unable to build in the original location that we were hoping to because of sewage and underground wiring. We have now relocated to a new, very wonderful spot. We will need to cut down one tree in order to build on that site. Because of this change in location, we have moved the build day two weeks back, to June 20th. With the extra two weeks, we have seen some real potential for doing some other amazing projects in addition to the playground.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to make it out on the 20th and apologize for any inconvenience.
