Dear Local Business,
If you're like me, some of your fondest childhood memories were created at your neighborhood park. A successful playground allows children of all ages the opportunity to challenge their motor skills on play / climbing structures. This also gives our children a place for positive social interaction with their peers.
Wellington Park to date has no play / climbing structure for children to play on. This invitation is being sent with the hopes that you too feel the same sense of responsibility and pride in our community as we do. With the help of our local aldermen, a budget of $12,500 was allocated for improvements to Wellington Park. We are asking our community business members for their help to supplement this city grant to build a safer and more durable play structure, as well a provide for some additional amenities such as park benches.
The Newton Community Service Center has taken our organization under its non-profit status wing. Your tax-deductible donation for Wellington Park can be made to "Newton Community Service Centers, Inc." As long as "Wellington Park Fund" is written on the check, you can be assured that it will go towards the Wellington Park Play Equipment Fund. Wellington Park has also been selected as a Newton Serves volunteer project by Newton 2000. We trust that you will want to be among the local businesses recognized at the dedication ceremony later this year. When families in the Wellington Park area see that local business members support us, we, as families, support those same businesses. It is up to concerned business members like you to help make Wellington Park a place where our children can go to climb on jungle gyms, slide down slides and swing on swings.
If you would like to keep abreast of the latest Wellington Park developments, please visit our web site at http://wellingtonpark.8m.com (where your support would also be acknowledged and a link to your website established). You are also invited to receive our free email newsletter by sending email to WellingtonPark@aol.com.
We look forward to your support of such a worthy cause!
Sincerely,
Nancy E. Davis
