Meeting Scheduled for November 3rd

Thank you for your initial support in the development of a dog park in the Fairmont area. The recent article in the Times West Virginian and subsequent meeting on October 21st has generated lots of interest.

Those attending the October 21st meeting weathered a cold and dark night. Cliff Harvey, the president of MDOG from Morgantown, gave us lots of good information to start formulating a plan for our dogs and owners. An e-mail from Cliff indicated that Stanley's Spot in Morgantown is closed right now in order to do some repairs. Also, he wanted to send his best wishes and good luck as we get started.

The next meeting scheduled for the FIDO group has been scheduled for:

Monday, November 3rd
7:00 P.M.
Eighth Street Confectionary

Kathy Riggi has kindly offered to let us meet at her place of business which is located at the corner of 8th and Virginia Streets. We will be looking over proposed bylaws as we get organized. Additionally, prospective sites will be discussed and a committee formed to visit some possible areas for consideration.
