Arleta volunteers work hard to create playground

(L-R) Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) employees Deana Woodward, Cyndi Trujillo and Celia Dejada paint a path on a sidewalk as nearly 200 volunteers from Washington Mutual Bank and the local community all pitched-in to build a brand new playground at the (CCRC) Arleta Head Start Site in Arleta, CA, on Saturday, August 23, 2008 which will serve more than 7,500 children. 20,000 pounds of concrete and 58,320 square-feet of mulch were used to cover the 3,300 Square-foot surface where jungle gyms and slides were added along with a new mural on a wall and hopscotch diagrams on a few pathways.
