Lights for Valley Park Green Cricket Field

A worthy cause is revealed in a letter to the South Bayview Bulldog from Lisa Grogan Green. co-chair of the  Valley Park Green Cricket Field. She is asking for help from all area residents to raise money for lighting at the field.  Here is what she wrote: “We would so appreciate it if you would ask your networks to support us. We are trying to win outdoor sports lighting for the Valley Park Go Green Cricket Field Project from the Aviva Community Fund, (Avivia Insurance — Ed). Please help kids stay active in Thorncliffe Park and the Priority Neighbourhood of Flemingdon Park. Register today through our website and then vote for us every day from November 12-26 to help us win $100,000 to $150,000 from the Aviva Community Fund. It’s one vote and one email per person for 15 days, and you cannot vote by proxy for another person. This means that we have to set up a strong chain of votes. Please vote for us and ask your family and friends to do so also. Go to www.gogreencricketfield.ca and hit the “Vote Now” button. It will link you to our special page at Aviva. In the top right-hand corner of our page is a spot where you must register once and set up a private password. Do that the first time, and then you can easily vote for us every day through our website. Construction on Phase One of our project starts this month, and the field will be ready for play next summer 2013.”    This seems like a very good cause.
