>> Help Ensure the Future of Kingsman Bark
>> Kingsman Bark is an all volunteer-run nonprofit organization comprised of
>> neighbors who love and frequent the dog park. While the city owns the land
>> and public park, they rely on Kingsman Bark and our community of neighbors
>> to help maintain the park so our pups have a safe space to play, socialize,
>> and exercise.
>> 
>> Now is a great time for you to get more involved and help ensure the
>> success of Kingsman Bark's ambitious work with the city to improve and
>> update the park. We are in need of volunteers to help us chart the
>> strategic direction for the organization as we continue to build community
>> among park pals and neighbors, design social and educational event
>> programming, and work in partnership with the city to refurbish aging
>> infrastructure and maintain the park.
>> 
>> There are many ways that you can get involved with varying time
>> commitments:
>> 
>>   - Join the Kingsman Bark Board of Directors, a small group of
>>   committed volunteers meeting biweekly to discuss strategic priorities and
>>   move the work forward - 6-8 hours / month
>>   - Participate on a standing committee to help plan social events, run
>>   social media campaigns featuring park pals, or lead park clean ups - 1-3
>>   hours / month
>>   - Help us with research on other dog parks in the city to identify
>>   potential solutions and new features that will improve our dog park for all
>>   - 2-4 hours over next few months
>> 
>> No experience is required, though fundraising, social media, legal
>> or finance skills would be a plus.

>> Updates on the Kingsman Dog Park Improvement Project Last year, we
>> successfully advocated for Council Member Charles Allen to secure funding
>> for improvements to the dog park and surrounding area. We have been in
>> touch with the capital improvement projects team at the DC Department of
>> Parks and Recreation to discuss the adjusted project timeline. DPR is
>> currently in the procurement process to select a vendor for the design and
>> build out. Once a vendor is selected by DPR, they plan to begin the
>> community engagement process to help inform the project design. We expect
>> to host representatives from DPR and DGS at the dog park in late
>> spring/early summer to meet with park pals and community members to update
>> us on the project and seek feedback from the community.
>> 
>> Stay tuned for updates - we'll share the date of the meeting via this
>> newsletter as soon as we get it from DPR. If you will want to join the
>> meeting with DPR/DGS, you can also send us an email so we can make sure you
>> get the details.
>> Support the Dog Park! Kingsman Bark also relies on our park pals to help
>> fund our efforts to maintain the park and build community. We use your
>> charitable donations to pay for things like clean up supplies; event
>> programming, like Yappy Hours; dog park amenities, like the dog poop bag
>> dispenser and medical kit; our advocacy on behalf of the park and park
>> pals; and platforms like this one for our newsletter and website.
>> 
>> Thanks to generous donations from community members, we recently purchased
>> brand new stainless steel dog bowls to replace some of the bowls that
>> split/cracked due to overuse and extreme cold weather.
>> 
>> Help us cover these critical operating costs by donating to our GoFundMe
>> campaign -- note: we are in the process of setting up our Paypal/Venmo
>> Business account for future donations. *As a 501c3 nonprofit, all
>> donations to Kingsman Bark are tax-deductible!*
