The Lyme-Old Lyme Junior Women (LOLJWC) have been earnestly fundraising for sometime to collect sufficient funds to pay for new playground equipment at both Town Woods and Cross Lane Parks. Yesterday, the club hosted an event to celebrate the completion of their additions to the Town Woods playground, one of which was the exciting climbing frame pictured above.
The LOLJWC ladies served delicious ice cream in many flavors to all courtesy of Cherrystones to Go.
This young man especially enjoyed this new piece of equipment installed by the LOLJWC!
Lyme-Old Lyme ‘Love Your Playground’ Chairman Anna Smith Reiter said a few words to mark the official opening of the additions to the playground that the club had funded. She welcomed everyone and thanked all those who had supported their efforts.
Congratulations to the LOLJWC on this tremendous effort, which continues now with this GoFundMe page where the club is fundraising for the playground equipment at Cross Lane Park.

Old Lyme Town Clerk Eileen Coffee joined the celebrations with her granddaughter Hannah.
Everyone there — and a whole lot more folk who could not be there — “loves this playground!”
These gentlemen — from left to right, Old Lyme Parks and Recreation Chairman Bob Dunn, Old Lyme Board of Finance Chairman Andy Russell and Old Lyme Parks and Recreation Director Don Bugbee — have all supported the LOLJWC efforts and were on hand to celebrate the opening.
