ICRC Projects

At this time we are fundraising and our goal is to raise $100,000 for our
playground and currently have about $80,000 raised. We are asking local
groups and companies to help in our fundraising efforts recognizing each
donor at the entrance of our playground.

We have different levels of gifts which will be displayed on a sign - Squirrel
level: $500-1,499, Hawk level: $1,500-$4,999, Bobcat level: $5,000-
$14,999 and our Mountain Lion level: $15,000 +. Donors at the Bobcat
and Mountain Lion level will be recognized on the park's entrance sign, on our
commemorative t-shirts, on public ads with donor's logo and name, and at
any public functions we will always announce our donors.

All donations are tax deductible as ICRC is a 501 c(3) and can provide
donors with a receipt with our tax identification number. We are seeking
donations in any amount to get our project underway. Please see our
brochure for more information outlining all the important aspects of this
venture. Please contact me if I may answer any questions you may have
about the projects. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to share in this
incredible experience!

We are also selling engraved composite fence pickets with your
family's name on it tht will completely surround the playground for
$100 each.

ICRC Focuses on New
Playground Project

By Dawn Sonnier, ICRC Vice President

In June of 2008 ICRC was given a beautiful five acre parcel
in Idyllwild on which to build a Community Center. As part
of this long-term project, we are currently in phase one
which includes a playground, teen center and public
restrooms.

We have hired a professional firm to help us design/build
our playground that will incorporate the essence of Idyllwild
and will help manage our "Community-Built" playground.
Our goal is to have the majority of our community help build
our playground in 5 days with the completed project and
Grand Opening on July 4th weekend of 2011.

Playground Components Sponsorship

These Idyllwild Community Center Playground components represent apparatus that will be installed on the project, their
respective costs, and individuals and organizations who have sponsored them. For additional information about available
components sponsorship please call Dawn Sonnier at 951/315-7881.

At their October 26 regular board meeting the Riverside County Planning
Commission unanimously approved the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the
Idyllwild Community Recreation Council (ICRC) to move ahead with ICRC's plans to
build an 8,000 square foot playground facility at the Idyllwild Community Center site.

ICRC successfully negotiated the process for the CUP with only minor modifications
to their original plans. The Riverside County Building and Safety Department will
perform all necessary inspections to ensure the community-built playground
conforms to all applicable codes and public standards.

ICRC President Dawn Sonnier said, "I'm elated with the outcome of the Planning
Commission's decision. The ICRC board has worked tirelessly for this project and
the community has overwhelmingly supported our efforts for which I am truly
grateful."

ICRC has raised just over $100,000 to build a state-of-the-art recreation playground
for Idyllwild that members of the community have expressed a strong need for
years. The decision comes too late in the season to begin construction in 2011.
Purchase of the equipment and site preparation will commence in the spring of 2012
with a playground build date set for June, 2012.
