Dilly's Place is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Sumner County. Dilly's Place was started with $20 and a prayer.This Playground will be designed and constructed of materials that include play for all children, including those with disabilities. The Conway Springs City Council is providing the Northeast corner of the city park for Dilly's Place, which is located at 8th and Wichita street, Conway Springs, Kansas. The dimentions of the playground will be 119'6" long(including hadicap parking) by 62'6" wide. There are 9 pieces of equipment planned maybe more.

Total Funding Goal:$327,308

(1) $130,000 equipment (2)$65,000 for surfacing the floor (3) $35,000 for concrete, excluding the handicap parking (4) $10,000 for fencing (we hope some of the fencing will be donated) (5)$15,000 for site work (6) $6,418 for 2% admin fee for fundraising costs and (7) $65,890 (for the cost of the land that has already been donated)

As of 3/21/2011 we have raised $27,216.81. This is after our 2% in admin fees which include application for 501(c)(3), lawyer fees, CPA fees. This whole project is completely volunteer. No one gets paid. Everything goes toward this wonder park. Our community is very involved in this project and we are hoping to get our County involved more also.

We have several fundraisers coming up.

City Wide garage sale (we serve hamburgers, hot dogs, Mark's famous slaw dogs, drinks and chips) We try and have a silent auction, and we try to get rid of anything that has been made and donated. Lots of tie blankets still.

It's cold outside!

Recently a blizzard blew into our small town. Dylan was last seen in his bedroom watching a movie. Within a few minutes he had gone outside with no shoes on, a blanket on him. The gate must have blown open from the winds. Dylan got out through the gate. People noticed him, they had a hard time even driving, They saw him fall. he was heading to the Caseys store. Him and I walk over there sometimes. Someone saw him and brought him home. THANK YOU! You were his angel and ours that day. A tradgedy could have happened.

Getting help for Dylan

Could you imagine getting a little help from Social Security for your severely Autistic son and they send you a letter saying they over paid you during the summer when you were off from teaching school. Now Dylan will get around $100 a month which won't even cover his pull ups. Crystal has a college education with two majors. She is head pre -school teacher and Director over the pre -school at the Center for the Arts. She gets minimal amount from her ex husband to take care of the kids. She struggles. What does the Country want these parents to do? The ones who take care of their kids by themselves. Go on public Assistance????????? Come on. She is able to work and wants to work. But she needs help. Come on America.... Wake up. Let's take care of our disabled and elderly. God Bless from a frustrated Grandma.
