Dog waste contains bacteria and parasites. The diseases listed above can be spread from dog waste. That is why the Virginia Beach SPCA is sponsoring the Poop Pollutes Campaign. Their web site provides good information on the impact that pet feces have on our air and water quality. Something worth taking a look at if you have dogs or if your neighbor does... especially if you live on one of our neighborhood lakes! VBSPCA Poop Pollutes Web Page

We have found one but the CBCL still needs a second individual to volunteer as Business Liaisons starting in January. The money the CBCL raises from our sponsors and advertisers is crucial to the effectiveness of your civic league. You would work closely with the Treasurer and Newsletter Editor, plus you will get to know many of our very generous local businesses personally. If interested, please contact Kim Schmidt for additional details: 464-9575 • ksdesign@cox.net.
The CBCL is in need of one or two individuals to volunteer as Meeting Coordinator starting in January.

Similar arrangements for food are made for the Working Meetings, but with the need to feed only 12-15 people.
