Two small words — thank you

To the editor:

Words can’t begin to express the gratitude that we are feeling. Your kindness really made a difference. Your thoughtfulness really touched our hearts.

Steve was a truly special person and it was reflected in the kind thoughts and words that forever captured the truth of his generous spirit at his service and his celebration of life.

Steve was loved by many; he will be missed by all.

We are overwhelmed by the love and support of this awesome community.

Wasilla

New playground is for

special needs children

To the editor:

The women and men of the Wasilla Sunrise Rotary Club have had a lot of fun planning and building the Valley’s first “inclusive playground” at Newcomb Park at Wasilla Lake. The new playground, still under construction, is especially designed for families with special needs children.

This unique $50,000 project is getting tremendous community support, not just from Rotarians. Mat-Su Health Foundation, Alaska Mental Health Trust and several other private donations are helping fund the new playground. Our club’s current “Gallons for Giving” fundraiser also will help pay for this community asset.

It is not our club’s first substantive project with the city of Wasilla. The Wasilla Sunrise Rotary Club enjoys a positive relationship with the city and looks forward to other collaborative efforts in the future.

The women and men of the Rotary Clubs are trying to build a better community and create world understanding.

Dan Kennedy, President
