The Drayton Splash Pad Committee has a full slate of fundraising events scheduled for Mapleton residents.
The committee, consisting of members of the Drayton Rotary and Kinette Clubs, has brought back popular fundraisers and is hosting new fundraisers during the next few months.
A few tickets are still available for the Drayton Rotary Club’s Annual Dinner Theatre on May 17. The event includes a roast beef dinner followed by an evening at Drayton Theatre’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased by calling Bob Bignell 519-638-2736.
One new fundraiser for the committee is a Make, Take and Donate Chalkboard Night hosted by Kitchen Table Crafts on May 24 from 7 to 10pm at the Drayton Chophouse.
Thirty spaces are available for anyone interested in this trendy chalkboard art.
Registration fees are $43 with a portion of the fee being donated to the Mapleton Splash Pad. Register online at eventbrite.com before May 17 to avoid disappointment.
Due to popular demand, the pink flamingos that appeared at various locations throughout the township last year will be returning on June 1. More details on booking a “flocking” will be available on the Mapleton Splash Pad facebook page or by emailing mapletonsplashpad@gmail.com.
The Drayton Rotary Club will be holding its inaugural 4-on-4 Ball Hockey Tournament on June 16 and 17 at the PMD arena in Drayton. Girls and boys from senior kindergarten to Grade 11 are eligible to participate in the tournament. An open age division will also be offered by tournament organizers. Four teams must register for each age group in order to run a division. Cost is $20 per player. Each team is guaranteed two games. A food booth will be available during the tournament. The registration deadline is June 9 at 8pm. Registration forms can be picked up and dropped off at Drayton Freshmart, 90 Wellington Street South, or contact Lorrie Spaling at 519-998-2154.
Toonie Saturdays continue on the first Saturday of each month with three local businesses accepting $2 donations to the Splash Pad project. Patrons of Drayton Freshmart, a la mode and Family Time Pizza are encouraged to donate a toonie when making purchases.
Drayton Splash Pad committee member Lorrie Spaling thanked the community for continued support of each of the fundraisers and encourages everyone to help make the splash pad a reality.
