Help fund the Nature Play Space! Alderman Sposato has asked the community for suggestions on how to spend the ward menu money for this year. You can help out by sending an email to Alderman Sposato asking that some of the money gets spent to fund the Nature Play Space. You can email his office at [email protected]. We have provided a template you can use, be sure to include your name if you'd like at the bottom.
Thank you!

Dear Alderman Sposato,

As a member of the community that patronizes Shabbona Park I would like you to consider appropriating funds for the nature play space. The Shabbona Park Advisory Council is working with the park district to realize this play space for the community. They have worked with the community to gather signatures and host play sessions with the kids in the area to propose features for the play space. Recently the advisory council took votes on what features should be at the play space and is working through next steps to have it built. Securing funding for the play space will help make it a reality for the community and would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
