Nancy Church Picketting for Kids

During my travels in hospice, I see many faces that immediately strike me as images of hope - hope for brighter tomorrows for others without self promotion and fanfare, just sincere desire. Nancy Church is such a person. In the interview today, Nancy explains the Pickets for a Playground project.

The playground setting in Hiawassee across from the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds is a haven for adults and a carefree playing environment for children. The view of the lake, the protection of the mountains, the cleanliness and serenity of this beautiful space are offered to the community at no charge. Many people would give a month's wages to enjoy this site when there is no access in there own community to such pleasures. Here we just have to call the commissioners and reserve a day of partying or just show up to let the kids play while parents enjoy peaceful moments surrounded by breathtaking beauty.

Maybe I make this sound too good to be true, however seeing is believing. So I guess you will have to make the trip to Hiawassee and see for yourself. If you want to do a little "pay it forward", purchase a personalized picket and support the new playground while honoring a loved one with their name being displayed for all ages to enjoy and view while relaxing in the bliss of the mountains. Donations made to the project are tax deductible. Checks may be made out to the Towns County Beach Project and in the memo put Playground Picket Fundraiser.

If you would like a form e-mailed to you, please contact me at rwatts@regencyhospice.com
