Chuck Porter recognizes Stan Pyra

Chuck Porter was the winning bidder of this lovely poem by Kathleen Schaefer with sketch by Rachael Lake at our recent Masquerade Ball & Art Auction. The generous winning bid was $220.00 and as a supporter of the park he planned to hang it in his office.

When he learned of long-time Park supporter, Stan Pyra, he was moved to pass the artwork on to Mr.Pyra, doing so on a recent visit.

Although Mr. Pyra lives in Dartmouth, he has been a donor to FHPS for a number of years. He always responds to fundraising efforts and even surprises FHPS with unsolicited donations, such as sending "a cheque for seeds for the school garden" last spring.

FHPS are very grateful to Chuck Porter and Stan Pyra for their support of Harmony Park.

Fantastic Fall Fundraising

Fantastic fundraising efforts by Wade Macumber, Maria Diminutto and Erik Giswold with the 2009 Veseys Fall Bulb & Seed Campaign! The total amount raised was $910.00 which results in a $455.00 donation to Harmony Park.

Wade's orders totaled $400.00 and Maria and Erik’s orders were $80.00 each.
They each received a certificate redeemable for a week of lunch/snack items from our Healthy Lunch Program menu.

Also, each DAHES student who collected orders each earned two gotcha tickets. Those students are: Wade Macumber, Jonathan Weatherbee, Darien Wile, Erik Giswold, Maria Diminutto, Maddie Card, Darian Smith, Jared Wile, Haley Brown, Mark Brown, Kyla Laffin, and Julian Caldwell-Wile.

Thanks very much to you all from Friends of Harmony Park Society!
