Va. Park Cookout. Oct. 2008

In October, 2008 the Park District, Virginia Park residents and ESLARP joined together to hold an event to bring people out and enjoy the park. Food is always an important element and we generated a good crowd. This event brought everyone together and helped to get the new neighborhood organization started.

Blessed With a KaBoom Grant

After almost two years of work the folks at KaBoom have helped us secure a corporate sponsor (Snapple) for a new playground in Virginia Park. This is a blessing for the park district and residents of the Alta Sita neighborhood and represents a great start for our new organization, Friends and Families for Virginia Park. There is so much to write but most importantly is that we will build the playground May 15th. I just can't wait but I also know how much work we need to do between now and then. Please check out the KaBoom homepage.
