Dear Pat:
We are once again making plans for our upcoming dog walk, to be held in
the Palm Desert Park on Saturday November 16th, 2002. Set up will begin at 7am,
registration at 9am, walk at loam. I think we will be finished and cleaned up by noon.
The walk will center around the "Picnic" pavilion, the same as last year.
I am hoping we will qualify for a fee waiver for the maintenance worker,the facility, as
well as any administration costs.
We are hoping for a turn out of 250 walkers and their dogs. You know how strict I am
about picking up of any dog excrement. All the walkers are given a plastic bag upon
registration and instructed to use it, if their dog goes potty!
Hopefully EZ103 will broadcast live again from the walk, and we are in the process of
booking entertainment. Let me know when you want me to come in and complete the
application form. Thanks for your assistance Pat.
Sincerely, i s,
f/V l-aV✓ei
