Our annual meeting on June 10th was productive! First we discussed that membership is greatly down from last year at this time and made note of the budget. We are projected to be out of money in the near future if we keep on our current trajectory. This led us to a great discussion into fundraising opportunities. Some upcoming events will be:
* JoanFest on Main Street in Valatie on July 15th
* Octoberfest on Main Street in Valatie in September.
* A vendors fair outside of dog park at the end of September

Then we discussed some ideas for future fundraisers such as making shirts or car magnets to raise money; having memorial stones or plagues people can purchase for their passed pooches; putting brochures in vet offices to try to increase membership.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something. I will have the minutes posted here as soon as I receive them 😊

As we begin a new year at the Dog Park we just wanted to remind everyone that as a community we need to be respectful of each other. We all as handlers and even our dogs have different comfort levels at the park. Some people really don't like having dogs jump up to say hi, some ask that all the dogs be pulled away from the entrances as their dog approaches, some are not ok with other dogs hu***ng their dog even during play, whatever the reason we need to respect those requests. When a person asks that your dog stops a behavior even if it is a behavior you don't see a problem with you must redirect your dog away from that situation. In addition, regardless of what the people's wishes are you must get your dog away from the entrance gate as a new dog enters. This is important for the safety of our dogs as fights can occur when a new dog enters an already established play pack. Most importantly, we ask that you and your dog have FUN at the park!!

FYI: We now have a first aid kit located on the big park side in the standing cabinet. There is also a canister of disinfecting wipes for cleaning items or hands in there as well.

Hello members :) I just want to let everyone know that we will be getting the stump on the big dog side that was left from the large tree that fell last year ground down and taken care of soon. I have a call out to a guy who will be coming to do it in his next patch of stumps for other people. As winter approaches and with it ice we wanted to make sure it is taken care of so no one slides and falls on it.
