Welcome

 

MEQUON, Wis. – On a gorgeous Sunday, November 1, Rotarians from the Thiensville-Mequon and Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Clubs joined community leaders and neighbors to turn the first shovels of dirt on Mequon’s first inclusive playground. It will be a place where people of all ages and all abilities can play, connect, and belong.

 

Mequon Mayor Andy Nerbun, Thiensville Village President John Rosing, and project co-chairs Dr. Sandy Custer and Dr. Jenne Hohn shared remarks. Guests celebrated with treats from Rotarian Ellen MacFarlane.

"Playgrounds are a vital part of a community’s social infrastructure; they are a place we can gather across generations.  A place where children can play safely.  Every child deserves a place where they can be a superhero, a sports champion or a soaring bird.  A place where friendships can form and confidence can grow. The Rotary All-User Playground is about the best of our community.  It is where we have come together as a community: service organizations, foundations, businesses, individuals and municipalities.  It is a gift to our community from our community.” -Project co-chair Lynn Streeter

 

This groundbreaking is more than the start of construction. It shows what happens when a community comes together, and it’s the Rotary spirit of Service Above Self in action. The playground is a legacy project that will be a jewel in our community.
