The Dover-New Philadelphia Kiwanis Club will celebrate its 100th year of service to the community in 2021 by launching a project to provide new playground equipment for Deis Hill Park in Dover. There are four shelters up there that have playground equipment from the 1960s, said the organization s president. Steve Handley. We are going to seek donations from the public and grants for that.
Cost of the project is around $15,000.
Checks can be made to the Ohio District Kiwanis Foundation at P.O. Box 103, New Philadelphia, OH 44663. Donations are tax deductible.
In the future, the club plans to fund a similar project in New Philadelphia.
