We raised over $1,200 toward the purchase of a new playground!

We would like to especially thank the following people for all their hard work and the hours out in to help organize such a huge, but amazingly fun, endeavor.If there is anyone we missed, please do not hesitate to let us know so we can give you a proper thanks!

Dorothy Moraca of 795 Rolling Hills (Dorothy was up bright and early on the day of the yard sale to help us get everything out of the clubhouse and on the lawn).

Dimitri & Tammy Leventis of 85 Woodcutter Ln. (Tammy helped during one of the donation collection days and during the entire yard sale. Dimitri helped sell items at the yard sale and he was quite a salesman).

Pete Mansour of 525 Lakeview Drive (helped set-up the morning of the yard sale)

Eric Mandell of 700 Village Way (helped break down the yard sale at the end of the day)

Dick & Carrol Rayfield - 877 Pinewood Ter. W.

Bill & Toni Benton - 858 Pinewood Ter W.

Rosemary Lehner - WLV Secretary (non-resident of WLV) (helped work part of the day at the yard sale)

Dave & Nida Stang - family of the Rayfield's & Benton's (non-residents of WLV) (worked part of the day at the yard sale and helped break down at the end of the day)

Kathie Keiderling - friend of the Benton's (non-resident of WLV) (put in countless hours sorting, pricing, setting up, and breaking down).

The anonymous hot dog donor (we really appreciated it!)

Thank you to all in the community that donated items for the playground fundraiser and to those who recognized and thanked us for all our hard work. We know many residents of WLV work and can not donate time, however, many of you stopped by to support the fundraiser by simply purchasing a doughnut, hot dog, and beverage. Some of you even contributed to the donation jar when you couldn't find a treasure at the yard sale.

This playground helps increase the values of our homes because it is a huge selling feature for our community!

We loved the sense of community this brought to WLV and we thought it would be a great idea to have a monthly BBQ over the summer at the pool to continue to help funds for the playground. We could call it a Pool Party Fundraiser, Picnic in the Park Fundraiser, or Poolside Picnic Fundraiser. The hot dogs seemed to be a big hit at the yard sale and it's fairly easy to do. We already have the pricing down. This would also be a great way to meet the neighbors! I also think we may want to move forward with doing some sort of community raffle and use the picnic fundraising dates as a way to get the community to come together. My friend Kathie and mom, Carrol, are on board and ready for the task! If these seems of interest to you please let me know and we can send a proposal as to how the raffle/fundraiser works.

Again, we take our hats off and bow to the terrific volunteers and donors of WLV.

Best Wishes to All,

Carrol Rayfield & Toni Benton
