To: PamLex5@aol.com From: PamLex5@aol.com Subject: [DOGPAW] Ross Park Work Party June 16th Hi ALL - DOGPAW is getting ready to show off our park for the Dog Days of Summer! Come join your DOGPAW friends at Ross Park on the Saturday June 16th at 8:30AM for our Summer Spruce-Up Party. We will close the park for regular use starting at 8AM. Workers will complete spruce-up chores in the southern half of the park first. The north, or top half, will be open for use on a pay-to-play basis. Pay-to-Play allows limited access to the park, promotes DOGPAW goals to fund raise and sign members and makes our group efforts visible to our neighbors. The event will help educate users who do not realize that tax dollars don't make DOGPAW OLAs happen - DOGPAW people do. You may Pay-to-Play by donating to the maintenance effort with cash or labor or a donation of tool or treats (for workers). Otherwise the park is closed. When we are finished in the southern section we will close it - except for pay-to-play - and then work on the north section. We NEED: shovels, rakes, pitchforks, wheel barrows, weed whackers, mowers, and people to USE the TOOLS for: Hole Patrol, Weed and Berry Whacking, Wood Chip Re-Location and Fence-Line Care. We also need some folks to inform park users at the gates about the work party and to collect donations for pay-to-play. We'd like to use the opportunity to sign up new members where we can. DOGPAW needs your help, time, money and tools to keep our park running smoothly and looking good. Save the date June 16th starting at 8:30AM. Please come ready to work for a couple hours or more. If you cannot lift, carry, mow, rake or whack please come gather donations and keep the workers happy. We'd like to spread donated wood chips as well as the joy of working to together on our park. Our family is donating a case of beverages and ice in addition to our time. Your thoughts and efforts for coolers or treats for workers are welcomed. = ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
