Subject: [frac] Estes Valley Dog Park

I wanted to send my personal thanks to all the FRAC members for
the club's support of our new Dog Park here in Estes Park.  The
"Leash Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening" of the dog park is
today, Saturday at 10 am.  Since the club made a contribution to
purchase a section of fencing, the Front Range Agility Club will
be listed among the major sponsors on a plaque to be installed at
the park.  Please stop by and enjoy our new dog park next time
you visit Estes.  It is easy to find on Highway 36 just as you
cross the causeway over Lake Estes.  There are two fenced areas,
one with access to the lake for swimming dogs.

We are continuing to request donations for amenities,
specifically for agility equipment to be installed in the park.
This is comercial grade, permanent agility equipment, modified
especially for use by the general public, and guaranteed to be
maintenance free for 10 years.  You can see it at

www.parkstructures.com

Tax deductable donations can be sent to:  Lion's Club/Estes
Valley Dog Park, Bank of Colorado, P.O.  Box 2560, Estes Park, CO
80517.  Contributions can be earmarked "for agility equipment".
This is a great way to promote our sport and share it with dogs
and owners who are interested in trying it "just for fun".  Once
we get the equipment installed (hopefully by next summer), I plan
to offer "Introduction to Agility" sessions through the
Recreation District.  This would meet the needs of many local dog
owners who would like to try it out before committing to driving
to the valley for more formal classes.  I think we will gain lots
of new agility adicts and club members from Estes Park!

Please be thinking about whether the club wants to hold a Fun
Match in Estes again next summer and some possible dates.  I will
need to submit a request in January if we want to reserve the
area where we have held fun matches in the past.

Thanks again for your support!

Joan, Mom To Two Corgis
