The Dog-On-Leash program has been expanded to allow for dogs

on leashes to walk on all of the trails that are part of the

Schererville Park system. Owners are encouraged to use the pet

waste dispenser stations at all trail locations to ensure that

Schererville Parks remain “Poo-Free.”

Dear Schererville Residents,

After 3 years of fundraising by the Schererville Parks Foundation, Inc. the beautiful Perry Ferrini Dog Park is finally complete. It is

the Foundation.

Our endowment fund will be administered under the watchful eye of the Crown Point Community Foundation. The Foundation

has been in existence for 23 years and has a proven track record in prudent management of invested funds.

Through this Gift VI challenge Match, the Crown Point Community Foundation is encouraging agency endowment funds by

offering a match for charitable contributions. Gifts to the Schererville Parks Foundation, will be matched $.50 on the $1. The

deadline for this match is December 31, 2014 or until the matching funds are expended. Our target amount is $50,000 so that

we can receive the maximum match funds of $25,000. A lofty goal, I know, but with your help we can, and will make it.

For more information please contact Director of Fund Development, Karen Smolin-Aldrich at 219-756-5213. Please consider

helping us create an endowment fund during this match challenge.

Sincerely,
