To the Editor: On behalf of the West Milford Creative Playground Committee, we would like to extend sincere thanks to all of the local businesses who participated in our Canister Fundraiser Drive over the last two years. It has been a long road, but it appears we are finally closing in on the projects conclusion, with the new playground scheduled for installation this spring. We are very excited about the project finally coming to fruit, and look forward to seeing the children of the community once again enjoy the playground. The merchants and business owners of the township are to be commended for their part in helping to raise the necessary funding to replace the playground. The Canister Drive, coordinated by Creative Playground committee member Marilyn Lichtenberg, provided an opportunity for businesses and patrons to share in the fundraising effort. The publicity and exposure that the project gained through the Canister Drive was surely a great benefit, and we thank all of the merchants and businesses in town who took part. Those businesses who may still have a canister can contact either Marilyn Lichtenberg at 973-697-1620, or Dave Smith at 973-697-5351 to make arrangements for pickup. Once again, our sincere thanks from the West Milford Creative Playground Committee and the people of West Milford Township. The West Milford Creative Playground Committee
