Flea Bag Flea Market
The Flea Bag Flea Market is March 3rd. Start your Spring Cleaning now, so you can unclutter your home and help the dog park at the same time.
Donations - We need your "stuff". Bring your donated items the morning of the flea market. All items should be clearly marked with a suggested donation price. So if you have electronics, appliances, tools, kitchen items, toys, etc… then bring them to us on the morning of the event. Drop off times are from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
You can also help by downloading our Flyer and putting up a copy at your work or club. Click to download now.

2nd Annual Applebees Pancake Breakfast
The 2nd Annual Applebees Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for March 24th. Five dollars of each $7 ticket benefits the dog park. If you are willing to sell some tickets (and we hope you are!) contact Emma Valdivieso-Runnels.
Volunteer!
Our (and your) dog park is experiencing enormous success in terms of the number of people and pets who use it each and every day. That's a very good thing. People love the dog park and come on a regular basis. We have been successful in raising funds to purchase supplies and will be ordering one more bench. We're in good shape financially. This is terrific! However, we need your help to continue keeping and maintaining a quality community dog park. Five Cities Dog Park Association is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership and to building more dog parks in the Five Cities area.
Here are our needs:
- A Maintenance Chair to coordinate Bark Ranger volunteers and sound an alert when supplies need to be ordered.
- People willing to become Bark Rangers or to substitute for Bark Rangers who go on vacation or become ill.
- People to serve actively on our board of directors.
Please give serious consideration to contributing your time and your ideas. You are encouraged to call President Maureen Sharon at 474-8560 or email msharon at charter.net for more information.

Become a Sponsor
One of the ways to support our dog park is to sponsor a bench. There is a new bench in the small dog park that does not yet have a sponsor. You can memorialize your dog's name, advertise your business or simply have your own name inscribed on a brass plaque that will be installed on the bench. Sponsorship of a bench is a donation of $1500. Please contact President Maureen Sharon at 474-8560 for additional information.
