Olivet Playground Project  

"Designed by Children, Built by Community" 




We would like to take this opportunity to thank some of our important partners.

 

Olivet City Hall, Mayor Gary Peterson, City Clerk Becky Palmer, Council Members and staff have stepped forward to give unselfishly of themselves. As one of our greatest assests, Olivet City Hall will be assisting us with working towards our goals. Thank you for your knowledge and support that will lead us towards a greater community!

Olivet College gave our project a generous donation, and currently they are working with us in fundraising, marketing and volunteers. They will also be assisting us in finding the much needed grants to fund our playground. Thank you to President Don Tuski and Mark Vaitch for their community support.

Olivet Lion's Club took this project on with great excitement. Their involvement will allow all donations to be tax deductible. President Chuck Vasilion, Treasurer Larry Marsh and Vice President Sharon Powell have been community leaders for many years, and they are a wonderful assest to this project.

Olivet Community Schools have been with us since the beginning. They have allowed us to utilize their students for the design of the playground and are doing fundraising events to help us accomplish our goals. It has been wonderful to see the kindness of the kids who are learning life long skills of community service and giving back to a greater cause.  Mary Barkley, Principle of Fern Person Elementary has been a wonderful gift to this project. She has helped with raising thousands of dollars, communication to our community and so much more!

Committee Members have been the heart of the project. Mindy Lafay (Co-Coordinator) has given hundreds of hours of her service. She has and will continue to cover all aspects of the project. Without her dedication this project would not be as successful as it has. Sally Spencer (Co-Coordinator) has been writing grants and assisting us with involving our youth. Her Student Government Group has assisted us with important events, and have donated money to assist with the project. Becky Southern has been working on our car raffle fundraiser, please go to Car Raffle to learn more about this amazing fundraiser and what Becky has accomplished.
