Most of you have heard by now, but we recently met our fundraising goal of $48,000 in order to build St. Tammany's first dog park!!! In the past week, we received two large individual donations and we were also awarded a grant of $10,000 from the Mandeville Recreation Fund/Northshore Community Foundation.
What all of this means is that Pelican Park is planning to start construction on Phase I of the Bark Park in November (they've actually already started filling in some low lying areas)! We are certainly still accepting sponsorships and brick forms...the more we raise in the coming month, the more amenities will be included in the park. We plan to continue with Yappy Hour at least until the park opens and our committee will likely serve in an advisory/volunteer capacity once the dog park is up and running.
For each person who contributed to our project in any way - small or large - I want to thank you because it took each one of us to make this a success. Bark Park, here we come!!!!
