GRAND UNLEASHING OF THE JOE WEX DOG RECREATION SPACE
The Grand Unleashing of the Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space on November 4th, 2007 was a huge success, with more dogs and people showing support than anyone had imagined. The opening of our gorgeous DRS means that our capital campaign closed strong: we raised $365,000!
Because the DRS is managed by a volunteer-directed community organization, we count on users like you to provide the support necessary to keep the space as beautiful as it was on opening day. Below you will find a summary of our continuing efforts to maintain and improve the DRS, along with opportunities for you to do your part to help with the upkeep.
Maintenance:
-
Project Place cleans twice a week, but every park user is expected to pick up after his or her own dog -- please help us keep maintenance costs low by gently pointing out where a dog has messed if his owner has not seen it.
-
Brooms are available in the trunk in the large dog area for any park user who wants to help sweep pea stones off of the paths.
-
We expect the pea stones to settle in over the next few months, which should cut down on the overflow.
Fundraising:
-
You may still donate to the DRS and purchase a paver or a brick. Going forward, we will install new pavers and bricks once a year or when a substantial number have been reserved.
-
Additional naming opportunities are available also -- send an e-mail to SouthEndDRS@gmail.com if you are interested.
-
Our annual fundraising event for DRS maintenance will take place in Spring 2008.
