Volunteers

Our huge thanks to the many volunteers who gave their time and talent to building this playground, from unpacking, to assembling, tightening each bolt & screw and spreading 4,400 lbs of rubber mulch. Kudos and a standing ovation to all of them. Everyone's volunteer hours are equally important and we would not be able to bring these improvements to our community without this spirit of partnership.

Leaders

Thanks go out to the leaders who organized the nuts and bolts (literally) of this construction: led by Rick King, Rudy Garber with Micah LeMaster, Fletcher Fosque, Franco and crew, and many others.

Donors

Gratitude to donors: T & W Block, C & C Concrete Pumping, Onancock Building Supply, and the Town of Onancock. Our gratitude to the Robert E and Marie Orr Smith Foundation for their generosity.
