The Friends of Pooch Plantation (FOPP) are grateful to Brenda and Les Staples for their generous gift of two picnic tables placed in Pooch Plantation, Pecan’s off leash dog park. Pet owners now have more seating for fellowship while their canines run and play.
To honor the Staples for their generous gift, a reception is on the calendar for April 6 at 11:30 a.m. when pizza and beverages are on the menu. All Pecaners are invited and encouraged to bring a bag of dry dog food or treats for donation to the Friends for Animals shelter in Acton.
FOPP is currently accepting membership renewals. Application forms are available at the Pooch Plantation entrance, and annual dues are $25. Funds raised from memberships purchase new and maintain established amenities in the dog park.
