The Kiwanis Club of Paulding County would like to thank all of the people that supported the Kiwanis Playground at the Lela McGuire Jeffery Park! Kiwanis Club of Paulding County is the main financial sponsor of the playground and the driving force to make it happen, but they could not have done it without the financial donations of the following sponsors. Supporting sponsors: Paulding County Area Foundation, Cooper Farms, Paulding Eagles, Paulding VFW and Operation Round Up (Paulding Putnam Electric Coop). Large Brick Sponsors: Johnson Family, Gray Family, Paulding County Hospital - Ohio, Bashore Reineck Stoller & Waterman Inc, Josiah Stoller, Northwestern Ohio Community Action Commission, Burtch Family, Reinhart Family, Midwest Community Federal Credit Union, Stahl Family, Carter Family, Haviland Drainage Products and Sinn Family. Small Brick Sponsors: First Financial Bank, McClure Family, Koenig Family, Boss Family, Hunt Family, Searing Family, Stoller Family, Rassman Family, Recker Family, The State Bank and Trust Company, Hands of Hope Paulding Pregnancy Services, Farr Family, Burtch Family, Edwards Family, Lyons Family, United Way of Paulding County, Reinhard Family, Wiebe Family, and White Family.

They would also like to thank Jason Vance, Village Administrator, and his team for the groundwork to make the playground possible; the Paulding Soccer Club for donating picnic tables, so parents have a place to sit and relax while their children play; Paulding Ace Hardware & Rental and Scott Strahley, for helping with the mulch walkway. They would like to especially thank Lora Lyons, Chairwoman of the Kiwanis Playground Committee, without Lora’s dedication the park would just be a great idea!

The Kiwanis Club of Paulding County invites everyone to visit the Lela McGuire Park and enjoy the Kiwanis playground.
