What else is going on?

There is only one K9Splash! meetings left before the event on August 21 & 22. So far there have only been a few people doing all the work. If you have time and can help organize the Splash please try to make the final meeting on Wednesdays August 18, 5:45 p.m. at Ambroz Recreation Center on Mt. Vernon Rd. Any help you can provide will be great. We hope we can keep this event going for years to come, but it will only work if we have the help. We are having SERIOUS problems soliciting any volunteers for the swim itsself. If we are going to have the swim, we need to have people to work. Nearly all shifts are available. There are incentives! PLEASE EMAIL volunteer@k9cola.org to assure we will have a 2010 dog swim! |

The August Dog Walk will be Saturday, August 7th at 9:00 a.m. This will be at Kirkwood College as part of the Linn County Heart Walk. It begins in the parking lot by the Recreation Building. The walk starts at 9:00 a.m., but lots of other activities begin at 8:00 a.m. K9COLA will be hosting a Dog Rest Stop at the walk so bring the whole family, even the furry ones. If you know anyone who is walking with other teams tell them to bring their dogs along. If you would like to join the K9COLA team and raise funds for the American Heart Association, see the separate Heart Walk entry below. You can always join us for the walk without raising money, too. There is a nice walking route set up and treats for the dogs. |
We have once again scheduled Dogs' Night Out events in collaboration with Starbucks on the corner of 1st Ave and Collins; well-mannered, leashed dogs are welcome on the patio at Starbucks and this is a chance to meet and socialize with other dog owners and park users; Dogs' Night Out events run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please note these dates on your calendar for this season:

The Linn County Heart Walk is Saturday, August 7th from 8:30-11:00 a.m.. It will again be held at Kirkwood College. It starts in the parking lot of the Rec Building and goes around campus. It is a 3.2 K walk. This will serve as our August Monthly Dog Walk. If you can, join the K9COLA team and walk with us. You can find the Heart Walk info at http://www.heartwalk.kintera.org/linncounty. Click on the team info and then on K9COLA to get to our page. It would be great to have you join the team and raise some money for the AHA but you can always just join us for the walk anyway. If you like you can make a donation too. This will be the sixth year that I have walked and third year Syd has walked. We have always wanted to get a real team together but have only had a few people before so I hope a lot of you will walk with us. K9COLA will be hosting a dog rest station at the walk too. There will be water and treats for the dogs and pools for them to cool off in. This will be our fourth year for hosting the dog rest station. If you know others that are walking with teams tell them to take their dogs along too. This is a family event, even the furry ones. A fun time for a good cause and only takes a couple of hours of your day. Hope to see you there. If you have questions, email me (steve@k9cola.org) |
