The Tree House grew from the "Winter Park" indoor play space idea to what it is now today. This project could not have taken shape and evolved without the support of the community and a dedicated group of volunteers, parents, staff and board members. On long, hot summer nights, the design committee would meet and on cold, snow Saturday's we had our "handymen" install the floor. In between we had a myriad of folks who worked on projects at home, in their early morning hours, after work, on the road, by cell phone, by email, and by texting (but not while driving!). We had dinner meetings, gatherings over coffee, over dessert, with children and without.
The Tree House Indoor Playground embodies the true spirit of a community grass roots effort. Our project chairperson, Jessica Della Valla, lit the fire under all of us and has helped each and every one of us to embrace the vision and create something wonderful for young children in this community. Truly, this day is dedicated to her and to tall of the volunteers who helped see this through.
Yours in Play,
Catherine Benda
Executive Director
