In 1973, our Club installed the Tot Lot at the corner of St. Clair and Waterloo. The Club then raised funds in 1997 for a makeover which is what is currently in place there.
Bob Lucas noted that this ambitious project began in March and that 18 Rotarians are involved. Mike Carmody then followed with more details and a very informative video was played. View it here: video.gptotlot.com
Roger Hull, as the fundraising chair, completed the presentation, stating that every member is part of this committee as either an ambassador, an advocate, or an “asker”. If you know of anyone who would be willing to make a sizable donation, please contact Roger. He is hoping to be bombarded with names.
The goal is to raise $250,000 before the end of the year to purchase new ADA/ADHD compliant playscape structures. There will be two sets of structures, one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 5-10.

To publicize, articles will appear in the Grosse Pointe Magazine, weekly in the GP News, and banners will be placed around town. Thank you to John Minnis and Kim Towar.
A press conference will take place at noon on August 1st at the Tot Lot.
