I can smell the aroma of completion!
It feels good to be able to finally communicate th
at I will be announcing an official grand opening date in the next newsletter. We've ALL been waiting...with bated breath...and in my case, nervous energy, sleepless nights, knee-bent prayers, sudden gray hairs, and "Don't quit! Keep going!" mantras. It has been a challenging but amazing journey and I am in complete awe of all the wonderful families, community leaders, trade unions, business owners, private donors and volunteers that have joined hands with me to breathe life into Play-Place.
I am thrilled to say, "I could not have done this without you!!!"
THANK YOU!
Stay tuned everyone, as together we get ready to venture into a whole new realm of inclusion, acceptance and support.
