On Monday, a cheque in the amount of $1,500 was given to the committee to put towards the cost of the playground as part of the Community Wellness Fund.
Thank you Digby & Area Community Health Board!
On Saturday, the committee held a fundraiser for the playground at DES where there was a yard sale, facepainting, BBQ, games for the kids, raffles on a print by Poppy Balser & seafood provided by Brock Longmire, and a bouncy kingdom.
Over $1,800 was raised!
Also at the fundraiser, the Digby Lions presented us with a cheque to cover the cost of a swingset with an accessible swing seat. Keith Trimper's mother & brother, Lisa & Brandon Trimper, were present, as well as the family of Dawson Drew, when head Lion Mary Anne McCormick presented playground committe chair, Sean Fredericks, with the cheque.
