LDRA MAY 2008 NEWSLETTERLDRA VOLUNTEERS MEETING The next LDRA Volunteers Meeting will be on Wednesday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Sawyer State Park meeting room in the administration building (not the gym). This meeting will be about all the dog run areas. Also, there will be a Cochran Hill volunteers meeting on Saturday, May 10 at 12:00 noon at Three Dog Bakery (3929 Chenoweth Square). This meeting is specifically for Cochran Hill Dog Run users and anyone can attend. SAWYER DOG PARK EXPANSION The Sawyer Dog Park Expansion Project is expected to kick off some time this month. The first phase is to create the sidewalk and strip at the front for the new entrance. We have been told that the soil needs to dry out some before this can happen, but if the rains stay away then this could happen the first half of May. Once that is complete we can begin the fence work. So stay tuned for more information. KENTUCKY HUMANE SOCIETY'S WAGGIN' TRAILS EVENT The Kentucky Humane Society will be hosting their Waggin Trails event on Saturday, May 17, 2008 at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park. The event includes a 5K run, leisure walk, games, information booths, pets for adoption, etc. For more information please go to http://www.waggintrail5k.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=261414. VETTINER WATER PROJECT Some time in the next few weeks you might notice a water spigot shooting up out of the ground at the Vettiner Dog Run. Thanks to a generous donation from Metro Council representatives Stuart Benson and Robin Engel the Vettiner Dog Run will have water soon. I know Mike is excited because this means he can stop carrying water in his bucket from the bathroom.
