Subject: [DOGPAW] Important updates

Dogpaw supporters,
 
To Pacific Park users, a reminder that we will be moving to our new temporary 
site at Vandervoort Park on 172nd Avenue next to Laurelwood Church and  we 
expect that new  temporary site to be open early next week around Feb 18th or 
19th.  It is extremely important to not be using that site until it is 
officially opened.  There is a neighborhood group that has filed a petition to prevent 
us from moving in and they have been photographing folks who have been 
illegally using the site.  There are big concerns about the impact to the 
neighborhood from the folks on NE 3rd street.  Once the site has opened it will be 
critical that everyone is responsible and follows the rules.  Please review the 
rules on the Dogpaw web site for park use.  If you observe others who are not 
respecting the rules, we should all speak up to make folks aware of the rules.  We 
do not want to loose the privilege of using this site because some folks are 
being irresponsible.  We will be sending out an e-mail and have signage out 
when Vandervoort is available for use.  We will be able to use the current 
temporary site at Pacific until the end of February and then it will be closed.
 
 
The Dogpaw annual membership meeting is on Wednesday March 5th at 6:30pm at 
the Fort Vancouver High School commons area at 5700 East 18th Street.  Every 
member who attends will receive a FREE great book called "Visiting the Dog Park" 
by Cheryl Smith (a $12 value, one per household).  You will hear about the 
new off leash development in the county from Pete Capell, Clark County Public 
Works Director.  You will hear from Shane Davis, dog trainer who is working with 
Dogpaw, about FREE classes for Dogpaw members.
We will hear from Sgt. Joe Graff, Vancouver Police Department and meet one of 
the great police dogs that serves our community.   We need you all to show up 
and show your support for off leash parks.  You will have the opportunity to 
ask questions of your Dogpaw board, as well as representatives from Animal 
Control, Parks department, Police deparment, etc. We will also have Dogpaw hats 
and shirts available for purchase.
 
We look forward to large turnout of Dogpaw members!!
