Need recommendations for Inexpensive but safe school playground
posted by pcmommy  on Jul 17 2008
I am only entering the ground floor of trying to get a playground at a public school site.  I have done a lot of online research on my own but could use the help of the more experienced Kaboom users.  The city in CT is in the middle of rebuilding the elementary schools. ....

WE Play! Milwaukee

Wow! What an amazing day!

My first WE Play! was a fantastic experience. Everyone participated with enthusiasm and vigor from the first buzzing of the kazoos to the very last.

The 60+ attendess shared so many great ideas about fundraising, dealing with city regulations, and we also heard some great success stories from people who have completed playspace projects.

Despite my less-than-perfect Powerpoint presentation, I think I did admirable for my section of the training, KaBOOM! Online Resources. Thanks for the laughs everyone!

Our first Meetup was also a success. We had alot of people show up and hang out, and I saw many great relationships and conversations form. If you are interested in future KaBOOM! Meetups (or want to start your own) please join the KaBOOM! group at http://communitybuilders.meetup.com/43/.

Okay enough commentary, here are some pictures from our post-training Meetup. Thanks for coming everyone!

The Chupacabra agrees. 

This was my first experience with KaBoom! and it was great.  I enjoyed meeting all of the KaBoom! staff and also meeting people from across the nation that all have a common goal. 

I can truly say that I met several people that I hope the stay in touch with. 

The staff all did great , but I can not say how much I enjoyed Jasons presentation.  I feel that he adds a great deal to the entire day.  His humor and excitement had us all laughing and learning all at once.  I personally plan to use the web site to it's fullest after his presentation.  I really enjoyed how the staff were all so approachable. 

I had a great time and I hope to become an active member of the KaBoom! community. 

Great job Jason, Brooke, Amy, Tiffany and Leslie. 

From all the way in Texas, Long live the Chupacabra and Long live KaBoom!

                            Hi Jason!  Thanks for posting some pictures so soon.  I enjoyed the workshop and the build and I'm ready to get to our build on Oct. 9th.   I have not been successful in finding the build site for Milwaukee.  (maybe pics are not posted yet!)  Anyway, I had a lot of fun and laughs. Your presentation was well done, and fun!!  Thanks.
