McCarren Dog Run Association

A little background just in case you don't know...in NYC dog runs are recognized by the parks department, but are NOT MAINTAINED by the city...it is up to the dog owners and users of the park to get involved and push initiatives for the dog parks, like cleanups. In this way, NYC dog people can really distinguish themselves and their local dog run simply by getting involved.

That said...some exciting news: I've joined the board of McCarren Dog Run Association, a registered 501C3. After getting involved with some volunteer opportunities to clean up the park and joining conversations with the local Google group, it became obvious to fellow board member Christine that I was interested in getting involved on a deeper level. She has introduced me to the board, where it became obvious that her and some of the other long time board members are interested in moving on and having some fresh faces join the board to replace a few seats.... 

So, I hope you are now inspired to get involved!  if you are interested in getting more emails regarding McCarren Dog Run issues/events, you can start by emailing a request to join the Google group at mcdogrun@gmail.com . If you think you'd be an asset to the board, please contact me to discuss ASAP.

Awesome, long live democracy!
