After our local authorities have decided to no longer care about the playground in our town, my brother to it upon him to look after it. Together with some friend and the local youth, he restored the playground in 2 days time (sanding, painting, repairing). To get fundings for this, we decided to organise a yearly event with a party, perfomances of artists, barbecue, etc...
In 10 years time, we could build all the following with the earnings of those festivities:
- a court for seniors to play a ball game (don't know the correct english word, it's calle "petanque" in French).
- a small shack for the youth
- 3 new swings (one very big one)
- a new sandbox
- an 8 meter high tower with slide.
- new benches
The playground is also the only place in town where everyone comes to meet: young kids, seniors, everyone.
As you are all aware, volunteering can take up a lot of time. In his case, it takes a huge amount of time to organise everything. It would be very appreciated if you voted
Please vote for my brother as "volunteer of the year"

I feel I should subtly bring up the first of the forum rules...
Another rule I should point out is this one:
I know it's for a nice cause, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to close this thread anyway.
