The com mittee is now raising money for the match that they must come up with. Donations have already been received but more money still needs to be raised. The committee will be doing this through fundraisers and more dona tions. The first fundraiser is an Irrigon cookbook. This book is comprised of reci pes from residents of Irri gon. The cost is $7.50. The second fundraiser is a chess set raffle. It is a Civil War chess set and tickets are $5 each. The drawing for the Chess Set will be held in September during the Park Dedication Ceremony. The Ch i l d r e n ' s Park will be a one of a kind park in the region. Not only is it ADA compliant, but the park will be ADA usable. What this means is, the park will have equipment that disabled children of all abilities will be able to use, not just sit back and watch and listen to the other children play. The park will be located right next to the Don Baxter Skate Park, so there will be activities for children of all ages and abilities. The park will be a community build, so all volunteers are welcome. Keep in mind, this park will not simply benefit the children of irrigon, it will benefit children from all the surrounding communi ties because of its special equipment. Any donations of money or equipment will be recognized with a plaque engraving. To donate money or equipment, purchase a cookbook, or buy a ticket for the Chess Set raffle call Amy Sandy at 922-2361 or Irrigon City Hall at 922- 3047. his own illnesses and caring for her at the same tine.
