Peri Park Toy Drive

April 06, 2007

Melina practically lives at Peri Park when the weather is nice. It's about 5 blocks from our house, and is probably one of the best parks in Marin.

One surprising thing about the park is that there are tons of push and riding toys that have been abandoned there, and they are just trashed.

After complaining about it to Sharon for the 10th time, she finally suggested that I do something about it. So I am.

Per my crafty flyer I put together:

The goal is to have new toys, funded by local Fairfax businesses, in the park by the end of May. This project is supported by the Fairfax Volunteers, and has the approval of the board.

An informal meeting will be held on Saturday, April 14th at 3 p.m. at Peri Park to brainstorm about the actual toys to purchase. A subsequent work party will be held in the park to assemble the toys.

If you are interested in learning more about the project, or about sponsorship opportunities (i.e. donating), please contact Bill Johnston: billdozer@gmail.com or 415.299.9638

I plan to chronicle our progress on the blog.

The kidlets will have new toys by the end of May if all goes well.
