WOW! It is almost that time again! DOG PADDLE TIME!!! How exciting!

Once again, we're in need of volunteers to help at the Dog Paddle. The time is
9AM-3PM.

Volunteers will receive a free Friends of the Dog Park t-shirt (to wear at the
event) and a paid admission for one dog. However, we ask that you bring your dog
before or after your volunteer time, unless you have someone that can watch your
dog for you while you're working.

The times will be in 2 hour increments, beginning half hour before the event.

Here is the event information
DATE: Saturday, September 6, 2008
Rain date, Sunday, September 7, 2008


The jobs we need covered will range from
1. Checking rabies tags for validation.
2. Placing the zipcords (used to show payment) on the dogs collars.
3. Sitting at a "waiver" table, where all participants must sign in before
entering.
4. Policing the EXIT gate, so there are no escapes!
5. Helping to monitor the pool area, watching mostly...possibly helping to keep
people out of the pool.
Also, we ask for help in making sure dog owners pick up their dog's waste.

We have steadily had around 700 dogs participate through out the day. We really
could
use your help! However, please only agree of you are sure you can help. It's a
lot of
work, but it's also a LOT of fun!

Thank you for your interest. If you have any questions or concerns, please
feel free to ask. If you know someone that may be interested in helping, please
forward this email to them!
