"She Made A Difference" |
A group of local residents dedicated to preserving
the privilege of being accompanied by our dogs on the beach of Jupiter,
Florida.
-
...organized
in summer 1994 due to complaints threatening dog priviledges on the
beach.
-
Jupiter Town
Council gave FJB a six month trial period to make a difference.
-
FJB raised
seed money for 10 "doggie bag" dispenser boxes and bags along A1A.
-
Locations:
Town Crossovers south of Carlin Park to Juno Beach Park.
-
Original metal
boxes have been replaced with attractive wooden boxes.
-
Public
acceptance phenomenal: bag usage and number of boxes doubled over
the past two years, now AVERAGING 200,000 bags Annually.
-
FJB pledged to
organize MONTHLY volunteer beach cleanups, held faithfully for 12
years, cancelled only due to horrible weather and hurricanes
On-going activity, at NO COST TO TOWN,
supported by contributions & sponsorships only.
