$120,000 and counting

You may have noticed a "thermometer" sign in front of Whetstone. We're using it to mark our fundraising progress this summer. Yesterday, Jacquelyn Lucas-Murphy (WRI co-chair) and Dave Carty (WRI honorary co-chair) recorded the campaign's progress thus far -- $120,000 in pledges and gifts, almost 25% of the total fundraising goal!

Fundraising plans this summer include brick sales, fundraising "preview tours," block/backyard parties and on-going individual/business requests. If you'd like to donate or get involved, please contact us via the Clintonville Chamber at 262-2790 or ernie@clintonvillechamber.com. For more information on the fundraising campaign, check out http://www.whetstonepark.org/wri/index.html.

The rec center will re-open in early September as the Whetstone Community Center. The goal is to have a vibrant, active center that serves all ages, adds to the local quality of life and helps strengthen the neighborhood. Join with your neighbors to help build a true community center.
