| I hope George has gone home and gone to bed. He doesn't even need to think about phase II until tomorrow......

Hey all if you did not fill out a questionaire on phase 2 you need to. We need it for the grant we have to write over the next couple of months. Call Town Hall or talk to Sherrie Joseph who was handling that at the opening today. It shows community support which you need if the folks are going to give the grant.
Rest on our laurels tonight but tomorrow we have to start pushing for phase 2.
We need to keep this in the fore front on peoples minds so when we get the matching grant the council knows with out a shadow of a doubt that people want this.

| Jane will questionaires on phase II be mailed out? Or is contacting Town Hall the only way? I did not see the questionaire today. I will be happy to contact Town Hall, but am concerned that others will not know to do so?

| Just wanted to log in long enough to say I brought my 10-year-old son out today and we really enjoyed meeting some new Summerfield friends and seeing some we hadn't seen in a while. We didn't get there until after 6, but there were still plenty of folks there and still entertainment. We walked on the trail, ate some cake and he finished off what was left of the ice cream. It was a nice excuse for us to get out and spend some time together while checking out the new park. It was really nice -- something Summerfield should be proud of! I'm sure it will get lots of use and provide lots of enjoyment. Congratulations!

Lacka, I've made a note to check with Michael Brandt and see how the survey is going to be publicized -- if they're not planning on mailing it out, we will be glad to put it in the paper; also, hopefully they can put it on the town's Web site in a downloadable form (if not, we'll put it on ours).

Patti, Thank-you and The Northwest Observer for taking the LEAD in LEADERSHIP in the Northwest Communities.
You and the NWO fill a rather large void in visionary leadership while guiding us all to more progressive communities and responsive and responsible town governments. Citizens of the Northwest would all be at a loss without you!

The park grand opening did seem to be a great success and everybody seemed to have a great time.
I did get to sample the cake, and wow, was that homemade banana nut ice cream ever good! Unfortunately I missed out on the cotton candy, which is one of my favorites.
The playground equipment did get a good workout, and seemed to stand up to the test. I didn't get a chance to test out the swings myself, so I'll have to come back later when it's not so crowded. I saw Mike Stewart lurking around near the playground, and I think he had the same idea.
I'll tell you what else got a workout -- my picture taking finger! I haven't taken so many photos at one place since, well, probably Founders' Day.
Summerfield knows how to throw a party. I heard lots of people say A Day in the Park should be an annual event.

Hey forum friends.. I'm just taking my aching feet out of the ice bath from yesterday. I really had a great time at the park celebration! There were maybe ~~ 800 people there! What an overwhelming POSITIVE support for parks. It was a fun shindig!
... Face painting, Greyhound Friends, Guilford the grasshopper, the Summerfield firetruck, SRA (they can really cook a hot dog!), local Churches (Summerfield Methodist & First Baptist) giving away pop corn, cotton candy and yummy homemade ice cream!! Shelia Williams had to qualify for the longest line with her drawings, and let's not for get the Generic Hustle band... Wooo- Wooo they were good!
The Summerfield Youth Association's stepping stone idea was masterful. What a super idea to create a place in the park made by the children... they are first class! The Master gardeners display (what did you water that plant with, it was huge?) New Garden Friends School 's buttons making table with Mrs. Moore's creative storytelling in the background.... this is just to mention a few of things at the celebration... Whew!!
It was a great day for Summerfield and we need many more days like this one. It was fun!
YES to PARKS! (PHASE II & to ballfields)
YES to GEORGE!
YES to SUMMERFIELD!

I went up to the park this morning.
The SYC folks were up there flipping out the stepping stones that they made, scrubbing the excess concrete off and placing them over where they are going to be used. Unfortunately the concrete had dried too much to scratch the names of the people in the stones but they did keep a list of names so we'd know who contributed. Those stones were such a great idea.
There were quite a few families taking advantage of the amenities available. Lots of folks walking and kids on bikes and lots of folks hanging out on the playground.
Just does your heart good to see folks enjoying this new addition to our community.
I think the park haters really have their work cut out for them this time....

| Thank you Patti for checking on the questionaires. I understand they may be some available at the council meetings but Michael will know for sure.
