FWGP DONATES FUNDS FOR WGP ELEVATOR

FWGP DONATES FUNDS FOR WGP ELEVATOR

Amy Gernhardt

The Friends of the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve, Inc donated $5000 to the Town of Yankeetown to help with the reconstruction of the Ellie Schiller Education Center`s elevator at the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve.

The Center has been under renovation for several years as funds become available through the Town`s budget and community donations. The final element for a Certificate of Occupancy is bringing the elevator in compliance with State codes.

The estimated cost is $17,000. The Friends raise funds through memberships, private donations, and T-shirt sales. Their big fundraiser is the Annual Rubber Duck Race held during the Yankeetown Seafood Festival in November on the Withlacoochee River.

The Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve is located at 1001 Old Rock Road, Yankeetown. Visit the Friends` website at www.withlacoocheegulfpreserve.com for information on the Preserve.

Come and share our fantastic views of Florida at its natural best on the Gulf.

The Friends of the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve, Inc (FWGP) present $5000 check to the Town of Yankeetown on Monday, May 14, to help with elevator renovations at the Ellie Schiller Education Center at the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve (WGP).
