Canby Grove Park Clean-up Update and Donation Request

Members of the Centreville Civic Association, 


As you may be aware, Canby Grove Park was hit hard by Monday's storm just as many other properties in Centreville.  The CCA has scheduled for the tree limbs, branches, and other damage to be cleaned up tomorrow, Saturday, August 12th.  From what we have been able to see, it does not appear any of the structures - such as the gazebo or playground equipment - were damaged in the storm, but we will be able to get a better inspection after the clean-up of the downed tree limbs and branches occurs tomorrow.  Accordingly, the park has been closed and will remain closed until the damage is cleared and it is determined that the park is safe for visitors. 


Due to the large expense of the clean-up of the storm, we are asking our residents and businesses to please consider making an additional donation to the Centreville Civic Association.  The CCA is responsible for the park maintenance and repairs, and the storm damage is a significant expense.  Donations can be made at our website donation form.  The online form will allow you to designate the use of the funds.  Or, you may also make a donation by mailing a check to our PO Box: Centreville Civic Association, P.O. Box 4011, Wilmington, DE 19807.
You can also help by encouraging your fellow residents and businesses to pay dues to the Centreville Civic Association.  Annual dues letters are sent out by mail every Fall.  The dues costs are $75/household and $150/business.  


Thank you again for your support of Centreville.


Sincerely,
Board of the Centreville Civic Association
