The field is still just sand, and it will have to be improved and expanded, but everything appears to be in place to have a usable playing field by next spring.
Many thanks to all of the people who had the vision, energy, time, and resources to make this a reality. Generations of island children will benefit.
This month's Ocracoke Newsletter is a tribute to a wonderful man who did much for Ocracoke Island, Marvin Wyche Howard (1897-1969). You can read it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news052113.htm.
SOOOOO happy the kids are getting a field!
ReplyDeleteWe might want to contribute something to this cause. I may be wrong bur it seems like we read something a while back at this site of someone selling fund raising T shirts for this cause? Who is a contact person concerning this field project. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI would contact Vince O'Neal at the Pony Island Restaurant (252-928-5701).
