Join PIDO’s Board Sep 25 Do you love taking your pup(s) to Point Isabel Regional Shoreline ? Are you ready, willing, and able to take a leadership role in keeping the park off-leash? Have you been a member of Point Isabel Dog Owners (PIDO) for a year or more? If so, please consider applying to join the PIDO Board and help sustain our 40-year legacy. PIDO has been continuously advocating for off-leash privileges at Point Isabel since 1985. Since PIDO became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2000, our all-volunteer Executive Board of Directors has been led by a handful of dedicated individuals. After years of service, some are ready to pass the baton to the next generation of PIDO leaders. The time commitment for PIDO board members is flexible. We meet 10 times a year for up to two hours. Members also actively participate in Events (Off-Leash Skills, Barktoberfest, Canine Good Citizen Testing, monthly Clean Ups) and administration (finance, strategic planning, membership management, communication, volunteer coordination, etc.) If you’re interested in giving back to PIDO - the organization that’s made so many hours of fun for you and your pup(s) possible - please email info@pido.org with BOARD in subject line. Send us a brief description of your history with PIDO/Point Isabel, what areas you’d be interested in working on, and some good times to contact you. For more information, see PIDO’s Volunteer and Events pages.

For the number of folks who visit, Point Isabel is remarkably clean and safe for both dogs and people due to the efforts of EBRPD Rangers and people like YOU!. Help keep it that way by joining us to pick up *stuff* (stray poops; trash) OR by lending a hand with weeding while enjoying the views and the fun at the world's largest off-leash dog park (aka "Disneyland for Dogs.) Come for 15 minutes or the full two hours -- every weed pulled or piece of *stuff* picked up helps. Bring your own gloves and tools if you have them, or borrow ours. And don't forget to ask about our Special Treats for very good dogs -and their owners! *Our focus during the summer months is on managing foxtails, noxious, invasive weeds that are dangerous to dogs. Join volunteers to pull foxtails and other weeds around high-traffic areas such as benches and picnic tables that rangers can't reach with power tools and mowers. Spring and summer intervention are particularly important to preventing foxtails from going to seed and spreading. Contact us at info@pido.org to connect with individual volunteers working on a daily basis, or to schedule a time for a group activity for your friends, school, church, or business. Clean-Ups are *usually* on the last Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to Noon. We usually meet near the Rydin Road entrance between the restrooms and the foot bridge. CLEAN-UP Dates for 2024: Wednesday May 22nd 10-1:30 Saturdays March 29, April 27 June 29, July 27, August 28th, September 28, October 26, and November 23rd * No Clean Up in December. Check in to confirm dates, times, and meeting place in the park. Rain/muddiness cancels.

Like to write? Good at layout and design? Take pics or video? Your timing is really good...in 2025 PIDO turns 40 and Point Isabel Regional Shoreline turns 50. (Happy birthdays!) Help celebrate with The PIDO Pointer, e-newsletters, the bulletin boards, banners, signs, and maybe even swag. PIDO has a robust website - pido.org - and popular Facebook group. The webmaster needs backup (especially from someone with Squarespace experience) to mamage the events calendar and write and edit news blurbs about Point Isabel. PIDO can always use Facebook group moderators versed in multiuse recreation and Point Isabel’s unique dog walking rules. We would also like to build a presence on Instagram, You Tube and other social media apps. Can you help? Email us at info@pido.org

PIDO has grown to an estimated 7,500 members in more than 2,700 households. We are almost entirely supported by many small donations. That’s a lot to keep track of. PIDO is seeking volunteers who can help with official correspondence, minutes, finances, donations, and databases. Once trained, volunteers would work from home on their own computers. You might be updating our snail mail and email addresses, logging donations and new memberships, generating donation receipts and thank you letters, or registering people and pups for some of our events or at the events themselves. A few hours a week or a month really helps us out. This is low-key and fulfilling for the detail-oriented. The time commitment varies from two to eight hours a month. You must be local, able to meet while being trained, a PIDO member, and pass a routine background check. We could also use help with updating and design on our website (we use Squarespace) and possibly Google Workspace. If this matches your interest and skills, please get in touch: info@pido.org
