Dane County Parks

Action

The Evjue Foundation, the charitable arm of the Capitol Times, is supporting youth volunteers in Dane County Parks this year with a generous grant. Projects include Youth Service Day, the Walbridge Academy tree planting, tree plantings at Badger Prairie Park, woodchipping at Viking Park and in 2000, May Flower Day. We are very pleased that the Evjue Foundation recognizes the contributions youth make in our community, by providing us the means to run these projects.

Booklovers, Turn in Your Receipts!

Canterbury Booksellers Supports the Adult Conservation Team

Canterbury Booksellers has a receipt-saving program that benefits local organizations, including the Adult Conservation Team. When you purchase books there, ask them to save the receipts in the "Dane County Parks Adult Conservation Team" envelope. When the totals of those receipts add up to $500, they will donate two rooms at the Canterbury Inn to the Adult Conservation Team! These rooms will be auctioned in the future to benefit the Adult Conservation Team. Each room in this delightful bed and breakfast above the bookstore is decorated in the Canterbury Tales theme, complete with an original mural. So, if you're going to purchase books, especially over the holidays, consider shopping at Canterbury and benefiting the Adult Conservation Team.
