A big thanks to the Capitol Hill Community Foundation for granting $2,500 to Hill Hounds to contribute to amenities at Kingsman Field Dog Park! Here's some information about this great organization from their website:

The Capitol Hill Community Foundation draws on the generosity and idealism of our neighborhood to help build a stronger and more caring community—a place where families can flourish and where every resident can share in a better future.

We support activities, projects and organizations that enrich the lives of residents and celebrate the history of our Capitol Hill community.

Since its founding in 1989, the Foundation has directed more than $4 million to a broad range of projects. Funded entirely by annual donations from members and friends of the community, the Foundation proudly directs every dollar contributed to grants. All administrative costs are covered by the members of the Board of Directors.

Please join PSA 105 residents at the 6th Annual Fun Dog Show on Saturday, July 25, 2009, at 10 a.m. at Marion Park, across the street from the 1st District Substation at 500 E Street, S.E.

Dog owners: You don't have to be a PSA 105 resident to enter your dog! When you get to the show, you can sign your dog up for categories including: smallest dog, best costume, best trick, etc. This is a fun community event where canine talent and beauty are not requirements to win a prize!

Amazing! On Thursday, we put out a call for folks to donate toward the last $500 we needed in order to meet our goal of raising $15,000 by the end of May. Within hours, the goal was met.  And then folks kept donating!  And in four days we raised $1,600!

Thanks to everyone who made a contribution! These funds will go a long way toward adding amenities to Kingsman Field Dog Park and maintaining the park once it's finally built! We also got some great new brick inscriptions, which will be posted soon.
