Our YWCA play ground fund raising effort has reached our original goal of $25,000. So far we have received $21,900 in contributions, plus $2,450 in matches from Gary Rotary Club, and the grant from Rotary District 6540 of $2,400, taking us to $26,750. "Ask" letters have been sent to over 60 potential business/organization donors with a favorable response from  fifteen, and commitments from several others for a donation in 2022. With these great results, the organizing committee is considering raising the goal to $35,000 to improve the surface of the playground, as well as expanding the "naming" opportunities for donors. In our 100th year we are still contributing to the "City of the Century".
