The Mapleton Splash Pad committee, comprised of members of the Drayton Rotary Club and Drayton Kinettes, has announced its fundraising plans for 2017.
The first Saturday of each month has been set aside as Splash Pad Toonie Day in Drayton. Customers of Drayton Freshmart, a la mode and Family Time Pizza will be asked to donate $2 to the splash pad project with each purchase.
“Donations are voluntary and are greatly appreciated by the splash pad committee,” officials state.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and the Drayton Kinettes would like to make Valentine’s shopping easier. Valentine gift baskets, $40 each, can be ordered from the club before Feb. 14. Baskets include a bottle of wine (choice of red or white), two decorated glasses, a candle, chocolates and assorted desserts. Must be 19 or older to order. Contact any Kinette member to place an order.
Due to the overwhelming success of a Wine and Paint Night fundraiser in 2016, the Drayton Kinettes will be hosting Wine and Paint Night 2 on March 2 at Community Christian School from 7 to 9pm.
Space is limited and registration closes March 1. Those interested are advised to register early to avoid disappointment. Contact any Drayton Kinette member to register.
The Drayton Rotary Club’s annual dinner theatre will be held on May 17 with proceeds going to the Mapleton Splash Pad. The dinner, served at the PMD arena, will be followed by the feature show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Drayton Festival Theatre.
A limited number of tickets are available. Contact Drayton Rotary member Lori Spaling at 519-638-2232 for tickets or more information.
The Rotary Club is organizing a ball hockey tournament to be held in June.
Rotary Club member Lori Spaling said, “We are very excited about the fundraising events for 2017 and encourage everyone to participate in helping the committee obtain its goal of having a splash pad in Mapleton.”
Anyone interested in sponsorship or donating to the splash pad project are encouraged to contact any Drayton Rotary or Drayton Kinette member.
