Mayor Fung to Attend Dedication of New Playground at Cornerstone School in Cranston

CRANSTON, RI—Cranston Mayor Allan W. Fung will join representatives from Access Point RI, the law firm of Cameron & Mittleman, LLP and officials from the Rhode Island Tree Council and Cornerstone School in Cranston to dedicate a new playground on Tuesday morning.

The playground was made possible by generous donations from Cameron & Milttleman, a Providence-based firm celebrating its 30th anniversary with a “Thirty Good Deeds” campaign. The firm donated plants and labor and the Rhode Island Tree Council provided a grant for trees and landscaping. Also pitching in is Johnston-based Nature’s Way, which is donating labor to install everything.

Cornerstone School is operated by Access Point RI, which empowers people with differing abilities to live with dignity and respect while obtaining vocational training, education, and numerous other opportunities for growth and success.

The project was also supported by Local Initiatives Support Corporation, a community development support organization that connects local organizations and community leaders to neighborhood revitalization resources.
