everyone!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487410219-03112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been thinking
about the recent posts that came across about the idea of creating a dog
park. I would be glad to lead the process if anyone else is interested in
developing this idea.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487410219-03112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Someone mentioned
the space between the school and the river. Considering the fact that it
is so close to me (bonus!) I think it would be great. Off hand, does
anyone know who owns that piece? City? Parks? Does anyone know
of any other good locations for it? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487410219-03112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to see if
those that would be interested in working on the project would be able to get
together to discuss it. Some ideas to think about?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487410219-03112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>How big does it need
to be? How do we deal with waste? Safety issues (vaccinations,
aggressiveness issues, etc)? Rules? Governance? Who regulates
it? Hours of operation? Costs (membership fees)? Do we want to
subsidize costs by leasing to trainers, etc during some hours or have a separate
space for them to rent?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487410219-03112007></SPAN><SPAN class=487410219-03112007><FONT
face=Arial size=2>So, let me know if you'd like to work on this. Perhaps
we could me for a dinner meeting (something relaxed and informal to encourage
the flow of ideas) soon.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you soon!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
