Fall Fundraiser and Costume Contest

Thanks to those who came to the event Sunday. We were able to raise over $800! That’s more than 5% of our operating costs IN ONE DAY! This is fantastic but we’ve still got a ways to go so keep an eye out for the next event (and for pictures of the Fall Costume Contest).

Also, don’t forget to attend the Annual Membership Meeting held Tuesday, October 21, 2014 7:30pm at the McLean Gardens Ballroom (3811 Porter St NW). Your participation is important in electing new board members and contributing to the discussion.

Fall Fundraiser and Costume Contest

Join our furry friends on October 19th at the Newark Street Dog Park as we celebrate the Park’s Anniversary with baked goods (for K9 & Human alike) for donations, a doggy costume contest, and drawings for prizes. We’ll also have hot apple cider :)

Thanks to our generous sponsors we will be offering rewards from Cactus Cantina, District 2, PetMac Pet Store, Carving Room, Atomic, The Board and more to come!

The event opens at 2:00pm and the Costume Contest will take place at 3:00pm. The drawing will be at the end of the event and you do not need to be present to win.

We will also be present to renew or establish your annual membership. If you are unable to come you can fill out the new membership form online (link below) and donate online via PayPal or remit to “Newark Street Park K9 Friends” Please remember that Newark Street Park K9 Friends is a 501 c 3 organization & survives by your donations to meet its $15,000 annual budgetary needs. This includes paying for dependable daily maintenance & opening for daily use. Also, all donations are tax deductible!

Hope to see you there!

Your Donations at Work

Thanks to your generosity during our springtime fun-raiser we wont have parched puppies at the park this summer. Feel free to keep the water bowls full when you and your dog are at the park. The water comes up from a good distance underground so to operate the new faucet just turn the handle 3-4 times and wait 20-25 seconds for the water to start pouring out. And please make sure to turn the faucet completely off when finished.

Mid-Summer Membership Drive reminder: as you can well imagine the park has ongoing general maintenance and upkeep activities that require funding from our members and others who enjoy using the facility.  We will have a team of dedicated volunteers at the park this Saturday, July 13th, from 9:30 – 11:00 am to sign up new members and answer questions on how you can help out.  More information about this event is in the post below.
