Join us for Yappy Hour on March 15 at 6 PM at Wonderland. Hopefully, you have printed out the petition and are asking your friends and neighbors to sign and support the park. If you have, you can bring those petitions with you to the Wonderland patio and return them to us. Or you can join us to find out what else you can do to help. Or, maybe you just want to drink a beer with you some dogs. All of these are good reasons to come join us on the patio at Wonderland.
Mayor's Budget Forums Begin: Attend to Tell the Mayor to Save the Park
Last night, five dog park regulars attended the Mayor's budget forum at the University of the District of Columbia. All of us advocated for funding to buy the dog park from WMATA. If you want to attend a forum to ask the Mayor to add money in her budget to purchase the dog park, there's still time. You can attend the forum at Watkins Elementary School on Thursday, February 22, 2018 at 6:30 pm. Or you can go to the Kramer Middle School on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 10 am. You can register to attend here. Learn more about how to take action here.
