Compo Beach Playground Project to Host Clambake Sept. 17

The Compo Beach Playground Project will be hosting a clambake at Compo Beach Saturday, Sept. 17, from 5-9 p.m. to raise funds for the Compo Beach rebuilding initiative.

The clambake will only be open to 200 guests and tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, according to a letter to residents from Compo Beach Playground Project Chair Suzanne Dodge.

The night will include music spun by a world-class D.J. as well as a mixture of seafood to feast on, Dodge wrote in her letter.

Tickets are $75 per person and 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to the Compo Beach playground rebuilding project.

At some point in the fall, there will also be a basketball tournament to raise money for the rebuilding, but the specific date has not yet been set.

By late April or early May 2006, the culmination of the fundraising effort will be a five-day construction week in which volunteers will put together a brand new playground bought with the money raised.

To purchase tickets to the clambake, e-mail Heather Singer at heather.singer@aigfpc.com or go to www.wywl.com.
