All hands on deck!
The Iola Kiwanis Club and the MOMs group are seeking volunteers April 5-6 to help assemble equipment for their special needs-access playground at Riverside Park.
The groups have spent the past year generating revenue for the project, and surpassed their goal of $155,000 — though there are always funds needed for upkeep and additional work.
The Iola Parks Department has broken ground for the project, Kiwanis member Mike Ford said. Equipment is on the way, and, weather pending, they will be ready to build.
Ford said the volunteer times are split into four slots over two days — 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Organizers estimate they need about 20 volunteers per time slot, if not more. The groups will provide a free lunch to volunteers.
Ford said for those not able to do heavy lifting, they are asking for donations of snacks and people to help serve lunch.
To volunteer for the works days, or for more information, contact Ford at Iola Police Department, 365-4960.
