Subject: [DOGPAW] Dakota off leash park at Pacific opening

Well the big day is approaching!  The new Dakota off leash area at Pacific 
park will be open for business starting July 1st! The park in being named in 
honor of the Vancouver police dog killed in the line of duty last fall. 
Vandervort will remain open until July 7th and then will be closed to off leash use.
 
The grand opening celebration and dedication for Dakota park will occur on 
Saturday, August 2nd and we are in desperate need of help for this event.  The 
next meeting of the planning committee will be Wednesday, July 9th at 7pm at 
the Clark County utilities building off of Padden parkway.  Please contact Julie 
Mills at _millsmj@comcast.net_ (mailto:millsmj@comcast.net)  for any info.
We need:
    donations for prize wheel-anything big or small-animal related or not
    Vendors who want to have a booth at event ($50) and free to non profits
    Volunteers to help set up and tear down the day of the event
    Volunteers to work the booths (2-3 hour shifts)
 
This is a huge accomplishment for Dogpaw that we will be seeing the first 
ever public financed dog park in our community.  At this point, the next 3 dog 
parks on the drawing board will all be paid for by Dogpaw so we need to continue 
fund raising.  This event on Aug 2nd will be a joint fund raiser for Dogpaw 
and Clark county K9 police teams (which are all funded by private donations)
 
We really need our members to step up and help out on this event.
 
thanks to everyone for your support and we all look forward to enjoying the 
new Dakota off leash park.
