Donations from Residents to be used for a putting green and checker board!

Do you know that residents and their families give gifts of gratitude for the care they’ve received at Menno Place – and for their appreciation for their home on this campus?

This past year, we set out to raise the funds to create a beautiful recreation space behind Primrose Gardens – we asked our residents to donate through our Christmas Donation letter; we asked our Mennonite Benevolent Society members to donate at Christmas and again at the Annual General Meeting.

Through the generous donations of our residents, we will be able to create another recreation space between Primrose Gardens and Menno Hospital.  There is a patch of grass above the underground parkade that simply doesn’t want to stay green. It has no safe access for residents. This is the patch that will be transformed into a putting green and checker / chess board with covered benches surrounding the space.

We are grateful to our residents, society members and others who donated the funds to transform this space into an active play area for the use of all residents on our campus!

Here are the initial plans:

Here is what a finished putting green looks like at Elim Village in Surrey:
