Wal-Mart donates to Derby
Community Foundation
From left, Kevin Chase, Derby Community Foundation (DCF) board member and incoming treasurer and Elizabeth Kinch, DCF incoming chairperson, accept a donation in the amount of $1,000 from Derby Wal-Mart Supercenter store manager Chris Sexton. The donation comes from the Wal-Mart Foundation, and it will go into the DCF general fund to be used for future projects such as the continued expansion of the Hike and Bike Trail and other beautification projects. According to Chase, Phase 4 of the Hike and Bike Trail is planned to extend along the north side of 79th Street from Derby High School to High Park, and Phase 5 is scheduled to extend west from Rock Road and 71st Street, then north on Buckner to 63rd Street. Other projects the DCF is working on include improvements at the Charles Hubbard Environmental Lab (CHEL), located just east of Derby Hills Elementary, and some beautification along K-15, as it is scheduled to be completely torn out and re-done beginning this summer.
