South Loop Dog PAC Park Cleanup 
 
The SLDogPAC and the staff of new business member DoGone Fun! will be coordinating a cleanup at the Grant Bark Park on Sunday, May 16th at 8am.  The park is a big place, so if you have the time, please show up that morning and lend a hand.  Coffee and donuts will again be supplied by Soggy Paws.
