A Life ranked boy scout is one step closer to becoming an Eagle Scout. He did his Eagle Scout project at the Lakewood Dog Park. The project consisted of leading other boys in the design and construction of a new bulletin board and a lost and found box in "Annie's Shelter". Thank you, Eric!
Our new video now has music. So cool!
Well, the trial is over now. All the witnesses have been called from both sides. And now we wait. Both sides have some more paperwork to submit to the court, then the Judge must make her decision. It could be several months (perhaps October or November) before we find anything out. We'll let everyone know asap as soon as we hear anything.
For a great overview of the trial, check out the article printed in the Lakewood Observer titled Lakewood Hopes Dog Park Will Sit, Stay.
Actually, we've been in the news a lot recently...
