Please join us this Saturday, June 25th from 11am - 1pm as we clean up Freeway Dog Park and perform some spring cleaning on our storage container. We will be doing giveaways and a raffle. ARF-ARF relies on donations from the public to keep it running as a nonprofit and also for supplies for the upkeep of Freeway Dog Park. To those who have given this year, we thank you for what you've helped us do.
A donation of $100: - supplies us with one month of bags, or -keeps our website and donation system running for one month, or -pays for our nonprofit mailbox for the year, or -pays for one month of mosquito magnet maintenance, or -pays for 4 event permits (without sound permits) We would love to do more, but can't without funds to keep it going. We realize that not everyone can make a monetary donation, and appreciate any volunteer time people can give on Saturday. We thank everyone for their support and hope to see you there!

Thanks again to all who joined us for our first IN PERSON Bark Hall! It was great to see some old faces and make new acquaintances. As promised, we're placing the notes from the meeting here and will keep you posted with updates as soon as we have them. Please do remember, however, that we are all volunteers so we dedicate our time as we are able.
