DPSAY needs you. Yes you!

Some of our longstanding board members will be taking a well-deserved break. You wanna be a local hero? Here is your opportunity. You don’t wanna be a hero but you have some new ideas about dog powered sports? There’s never been a better time to step up than now. Even if you can’t make it to the AGM, just let us know.

Call for Nominations – DPSAY Board

Fellow Dog Powered Sports Enthusiasts

We are getting ready to put the 2019/20 season behind us and get ready for 2020/21. Normally we would have our AGM around this time in conjunction with the litter pickup or with the first hot hound race. With all the restrictions about people gathering in place and the uncertainty about when, where, and how everything, or perhaps not everything, is going back to normal, the DPSAY Board decided some time ago to forgo the hot hound series this summer. Instead we want to focus on roaring back come winter. A date for the AGM has not been set yet as we are still assessing whether a face to face meeting will be feasible. There is lots of important business to be done at the AGM and the most important is to elect a new Board.

So, here it comes: we need new Board members. We need people to guide the organization. We need people to organize races. We need people to organize events. We need YOU! We need somebody you know.

If you know somebody (including yourself) who just might be interested, please let us know. A short one line message responding to this email is enough. Or a message on our Facebook page. If you want to know a bit more about what being on the DPSAY Board means, send us your questions.

Eagerly awaiting your enthusiastic response

Your DPSAY Board (Debbie, Claudia, Adam, Christiane, Syvanna, and Martin)

PS: If at this time all you can muster is a lukewarm response, we’ll take that too.

DPSAY – Community Cleanup Event

Dog Powered People

As we do every year, we will do our part to keep our community clean. Come out on June 3rd at 5 PM to the start of Fish Lake Road for our annual community clean up gig. Social distancing won’t be a problem as we spread out along the road. It will be very much the same procedure as in previous years with a few extra precautions. Garbage bags and reflective vests will be provided but bring your own gloves. Come out, help keep your community clean, actually see (but not touch) some friends, and help DPSAY raise some funds.

Check out the event on our Facebook page for up to the minute information. And as always, if you have a question, drop us a line.

Your friendly but distanced DPSAY Board
