Discuss park maintenance with us on July 26

Posted on July 10, 2011 by Eric Fidler, Secretary

Understanding that the CA does not traditionally meet in July, we will have e a “Park Only” discussion on July 26. For this meeting, we will invite representatives from the Dog Park Association, DPR, MPD, DCHA and Kelly Miller. We’re looking to identify solutions to keeping the park clean, and safe for everyone.

Please join us on July 26, 2011, at 7 pm at the pavilion at the Park at LeDroit.

Several options have been identified that deserve some exploration, and can result in action.

I hope you can attend on July 26th. Since this is a special meeting, we will not introduce LPCA business other than issues related to the park.
