Continued from A1 Now, nearly five months later, organizers are hoping the community rallies around the next phase of the rebuilding effort. Johnston said she appreciates the volunteers who continually worked last week but hopes for more when the next set of work dates begins. The next set of dates, however, is still undetermined. “Hopefully it will be sometime in July,” said city employee Lessie
Fisher. “The sooner, the better.” Fisher said the dates will be determined by the contractors and which dates they have open to travel from their offices in New York. She’s hoping a strong turnout will get the job done the next time around. “If we got a Friday, Saturday and Sunday and had a good, strong push, we should be good,” said Fisher. Work dates will be announced by the city.

Until then, Fisher, Johnston and a host of other organizers and volunteers are hoping for more manpower in order to finish the playground for the children. Volunteers are not only needed for the construction aspect, but also for other areas, such as childcare, preparing and serving food and more. To find out how you can help, call 901-4761107 or visit the group’s page on Faceook (search for Project Play 2010).
