Chris Tatnall has volunteered his time to make repairs to our playground that a playground company was going to charge over $5500 to do.Chris is doing it for less than $300 (which is the cost of supplies)!!The vandalized tunnel and bubble have been repaired and he is currently working to extend the chain length of the swings.Thank you, Chris!!! Also, many thanks go out to George Christie who continues to do a fabulous job maintaining our community web site.Be sure and check out George’s great work at www.wythorpe.org.Thank you, George!!!
