INFORMATION The Manassas Park Dog Park features a large and small dog run for your pets to exercise and interact in a safe environment with other dogs. • Hours: Sunrise to Sunset. • Dogs must be current on all vaccinations. • Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the Dog Park. • For the safety of your dog(s) and other park visitors, choke, prong (pinch) and spike collars are strictly prohibited. If you use these types of collars, remove them before entering the park. • No Children under the age of 16 are permitted unless accompanied by an adult. Children have a tendency to scream and run when excited, which can trigger a dog’s prey drive or natural instinct to chase.

Dogs must be removed at the first sign of aggression. • Female dogs in heat are prohibited from entering the park. • Dog owners must be in the park and within view of their dogs at all times. • All off-leash dogs must be under voice control of their owners. If you can not control your dog off leash, keep your pet leashed at all times. • Dog owners must keep their leash in hand at all times. • Please do not bring dog food into the park. • Owner must clean up dog feces. Seal waste in the provided plastic bags before disposing in designated receptacles. • Fill any holes your dog digs. • Proof of a current rabies vaccination and license is required upon request of a police or animal control officer.

Thank you, Catherine, for the Memories

703.335.8872 â&#x20AC;˘ www.ManassasParkCommunityCenter.com

To many, Catherine was a guiding star.

She shone brightest when she served her community. It was that light that compelled the people around her to give their best every day. She believed every dream was attainable and never once said any ambition was too ambitious especially when it was a goal to benefit others. On June 24, 2015 her light dimmed as she was taken from us. We wept. We wept because we wondered how we could continue to move forward without our beacon of hope to protect us. Yet, once we looked inside ourselves and meditated on our memories of Catherine, we each realized that we all contained a small part of her light within us. Individually the glow warms us, but when we work together, serve together, shine together the glow becomes radiant illuminating the way and we can see our purpose before us. To honor her memory and her dedication to the community, the City of Manassas Park is dedicating this issue of the MOSAIC to Catherine. In addition, with the generous cooperation of QMT Windchimes, the Catherine’s Caring Hands Scholarship will soon be launched. This scholarship will be available for patrons who are in need of the opportunity to participate in the programs offered by the Community Center. As somebody who fervently lived her life for the service of others this is truly a fitting legacy. Thank you Catherine for everything that you’ve done. Your colleagues, your staff, your friends, your community, your city and everybody you’ve touched over the years will continue to pass on the light you’ve given to us. Continue to inspire us as we walk forward forever guided by your caring hands.
