Chair's Letter:
October 2019
Time has flown by and we find ourselves enjoying the fall with more dog friendly weather. As it’s been said before (ad nauseum), please keep an eye on your dogs at the park. Unpicked up dog waste continues to be a problem.
We are moving forward with the blessing of the county on our projects (hardscaping under the double benches and benches around the inside the park trees) and are anxious for them to begin their work on the north end to abate the mud issue. With their consent, we are hoping to keep the park open during the greater part of the winter and we will close only when it is time to rest and repair the South end.
It is also time for the Westgrove PACK board elections. We have open seats, some of which folks have already volunteered for and some which they haven’t. Serving on a board, any board, is usually a thankless chore. However, the PACK caretakers are generous with their thanks and are willing to help when they can. Please consider serving on our board.
It has taken a lot of people before us to get to this point; we need people to continue the good work that has already been accomplished. To that end, I’d like to thank the original board, who worked tirelessly to get the park approved. I’d also like to thank the board who gave so much of their time and energy to get water in the park and a shade structure, amongst other things. As for the current board, we have a lot to live up to and would not be where we are today without the work of our predecessors.
Porthos and I will see you in the park.
