Volunteers Needed for Accessible Playground Build

Come Join the Fun and Help our Community

The Monroe County Parks & Recreation staff is installing ½ of a large playground, tot lot & 2 swing sets on September 12, 13 & 14, 2008 at Karst Farm Park.

The park staff is too small to install the equipment alone. We need 50 volunteers per day to accomplish this task. The park staff will prep the site and have all needed tools and a crane to install the equipment.

If we recruit persons who are comfortable with putting parts together and lifting items, then there is a possibility that the playground equipment can be installed in 2 days. Volunteers will be assigned to a work crew based on their skill level.

If you can’t volunteer yourself, please ask your family or friends to volunteer.

Be part of a very special project that will impact the lives of many Monroe County families for decades to come.

Volunteer Dates: September 12, 13, 14 (No IU football game this weekend)

Volunteer Time: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (1 shift per day)

Lunch/drinks: Will be provided for you on the job site

T-shirt: Will be provided for registered volunteers (by 9-1-08)

Register: Fill out volunteer build form (contact Tara Kaufman at tkauf@indiana.edu for a copy of the form)

Please call or email Kelli Witmer if you have any questions.
