CHARLEVOIX — The Charlevoix Rotary Club is continuing to raise funds for a new playground at Mt. McSauba.

To date, $99,165 has been collected. The total estimated cost is $238,000.

Rotarian John Keyser said the playground “will be available to the hundreds of children who use this wonderful facility year-round from skiing, snowboarding and riding sleds in the winter to the sand dunes and beach in the warmer months.”

“It is a favorite destination for these children and their moms and dads for outdoor recreation and good times,” Keyser said.

The playground equipment will be specifically selected to be accessible for the vast majority of children, including those with physical challenges.

Kent Knorr, Charlevoix’s recreation director, has named the playground as one of the city’s top park projects, according to Keyser.

The Rotary Club continues to make plans to approach families, businesses, clubs, churches and others for whatever financial support they can provide.

“With this great start, there is an excellent chance the playground will be open to our children by next summer,” said Keyser.

For more information, visit rotaryclubofcharlevoix.org/donations.

Members of the playground committee are Mark Andresky, Abbie Hart, Kent Knorr, Jody McLoed, Bryan Lindfors, Kirby Dipert, Jeff Anderson and John Keyser.

Charlevoix Middle/High School (“CMHS”) PLUS Oleson’s Grocery Receipts

The Community Relations Committee is facilitating a project suggested by Amy Gray.

The Charlevoix Middle/High School (“CMHS”) sponsors special trips for students on a
regular basis.

CMHS has worked out a program with Oleson’s where the school can collect receipts
from Oleson’s and then turn them back into Oleson’s for a cash rebate of some
amount.

The school then uses the proceeds to fund scholarships for these trips and other
school-related needs of the students.

We ask the Belvedere family to collect all of their receipts from Oleson’s and turn them into the Club office from time to time, or before you leave for home.

At the end of the season, the Club will give the receipts to CMHS to add to their collection.

Unfortunately, Family Fare does not offer such a program. We may be able to help some of the needier kids at the school attend some of these trips. Great idea, Amy! Thanks
