COMMUNITY COMMENTARY The annual Howl-o- Weenie, to benefit DREAM Dachshund Rescue, was held on Oct. 5 at Brook Run Park. Above, “Lick and Kiss” contestants Natalie Fletcher and “Remington” get close. Left, “Duchess” is in full costume for a part in “Doxie Dynasty.” PHOTOS BY PHIL MOSIER To the dogs Close park, close my wallet To the editor: I spend hundreds of dollars every year in Dunwoody as I travel to and from the dog park. I buy gas, coffee, fast food, groceries and much more from Dunwoody merchants, even though I live and pay taxes in Sandy Springs. And I’ve talked to scores of dog park visitors who are just like me. Some of you have made it known that you feel non residents using the Dunwoody dog park should be dis couraged. If you close the excellent dog park so many now enjoy, I can guarantee that my travels through Dunwoody - and my frequent patronage of the city’s businesses - will cease. Brook Run Dog Park is widely considered the best dog park in metro Atlanta, and attracts hundreds of vis itors to the city of Dunwoody every month. Please con sider the fact that non-taxpayers are valuable consum ers who will go elsewhere if the large, shady dog park we love closes. Atiion Harri) Thanks for planting trees To the editor: Congratulations to all those who volunteered on Serve Day. You accomplished an amazing feat by plant ing 300 trees the morning of Sept. 28. This Herculean task could not have been complet ed without the superb organization skills of the North Atlanta Church of Christ and Trees Atlanta. These two LETTERS TO THE EDITOR E-mail letters to editor@reporternewspapers.net groups did the organizing, but the more important im plementation was done by you great volunteers. The committee would like to thank the students from Dunwoody High School, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory and Southern Poly. We also had some cor porate volunteers from Siemens, and last, but far least, a special “thank you” to the 700-plus citizens of Dun woody who gave their time and labor to improve the physical image of our city. Jun Maloney, Bob Barnwell, Jay Pruir Dunwoody Volunteer Committee Citizen contest for logo? To the editor: In regards to the Dunwoody rebranding logo, why not sponsor a contest for the citizens of our lovely city to design the new logo? There are hundreds of talented people right in our own backyard. Why not take advantage of their tal ents, abilities and input instead of hiring outside firms? A contest like this would cost the city very little and would give our citizens the opportunity to have a say in the replacement of our current logo. Just a thought.
