Did you see this weeks article in the Barrington Patch?

The Parks and Recreation Committee met last Thursday and approved a proposal for a conventional play structure at Latham Park. Bill Rupp from the Barrington Patch was the first to notify us of this decision. It seems that the committee had neglected to notify us of the rescheduled meeting.
In recognition of their oversight they have invited us to present our concept for a Natural Playground at their next meeting. The meeting will take place on Thursday September 22nd. at 7.00pm in the Library Board Room. The meeting will take 10 minutes, after which the committee and audience can ask questions and share their support. Your input on that evening will be incredibly valuable. Many of those supporting the "traditional" play structure have been lead to believe that the "Natural Play" concept would divert funds from erosion abatement and park landscaping.
Our task is to explain that the playground design will be a modest, privately funded, community lead initiative.
