The playground near us had it’s grand opening today – and Joe cut the ribbon!

Thanks to the many people – including many of you reading this – who rallied around Joe (and Lia!), all new equipment was installed this week. Team Joe raised more than $2,000, and over the past few months Joe has become the face of the project. Fittingly, the city’s Parks & Rec department gave him the honor of officially opening the place.

A big final thanks to every member of Team Joe! The playground was bumping tonight, so your support has already been well worth it. You’re all invited to join Joe on the swings. Thanks!
