Do you use the park at Ashford Park in Brookhaven?

We recently learned that Dekalb County is closing park bathrooms due to budget cuts. Your Ashford Park Civic Association is leading the charge to keeping them open and clean. We need your help! We have contracted with a locally owned and operated cleaning company to clean the bathrooms several times a week. It is now up to us - the regular park users - to raise the funds to continue this cleaning service so the bathroom will remain open for use.
We need to raise the cash to cover the cost of the cleanings and any additional funds will be used to purchase and install high flow toilets in there so we have less clogging issues. We have over 1200 homes in Ashford Park and many of these homes use the park for various activities. Additionally, many of you come from outside our neighborhood to use the park. I raised this issue with the Ashford Park Playgroup first and they have raised about $300 alone. Please join us in keeping our park GREAT!
To make a payment, you can use the APCA paypal "donations" button at ashfordpark.org or you can mail a check to Karen Dernavich 3321 Alden Place Dr. Atlanta GA 30319 (checks should be payable to "APCA" with bathroom fund in the "for" line). Our goal is to raise enough money to cover 1 year of cleanings ($750) AND buy the high flow toilets ($325 each) needed. Any left over money will be set aside for next year's cleaning service.
Even if you can only give $10, this will go a long way in getting us to our goal. I know we all love the park so let's get this done and show everyone we care. Thank you in advance for your participation in making our park GREAT!
