Today I received an email from Mr. Christopher, the president of the Moanalua Gardens Community Association. He has directed me to the Moanalua Community Park - Recreation Center Office Manager, who is under the City and County of Honolulu. If I didn't get a response back, I am to email a man named Clayton Toom who is one of the directors at the Moanalua Gardens Community Association. Hopefully they answer.
I then got an email from Mr. Clayton Tom saying that the Manager would be out for meeting so I have yet to call. I really hope they answer.

Today, I received a call from the Mililani Dog Park once again regarding our event. The district coordinator was happy to help me and started to explain the process of being able to use the park. He began to say that in order to use the space, I would have to contract a permit from their offices and discuss their rules and regulations. That seems like a major set back to our planning process because it is a several week process and I'm sure that our group wants to keep moving forward now that we're getting confirmations from all of our organizations. Another thing that upset me and made me realize that Mililani is maybe not the right place is that they said we may not be able to hold the adoption because there are no sales allowed on park grounds. The process seems a little excessive but I understand that. Hopefully we choose wiselly.
Today, my group and I had time to work on the Kahiau project and I believe we made significant process. My part of this project is to research and contact different Dog Parks so that we can hold our event to help raise awareness of neglected dogs in the Oahu SPCA shelter and hopefully get them adopted. I made several calls on that day, hoping every time that someone would pick up the phone. To be completely honest, some of those ladies were just plain rude. Some of the parks that I had contacted included the Mililani Dog Park, Moanalua Dog Park and Diamond Head Bark Park.
A few days before we came back from break, I had sent an email to Momilani Dog Park located in Pearl City. While searching up other parks, I had finally received a promising email from Momilani that said that they hope they are able to discuss with us the plans for our events so it would be able to happen. What is a major set back for my group is that the park as of now is temporarily closed to the public. With that in mind, we are beginning to weigh our options. A little while later, I received a reply from the Moanalua Gardens Community Association regarding the Moanalua Dog Park. The association has happily agreed to host us, and have even stated that PET-DOPTION seems like a good program to raise awareness in the commmunity. They would like for me to contact them soon so we can discuss the eveent in more details, which include the approximate day for the adoption, as well as the program for the day. Yay, another park to consider! |
