Thank you! Thank you!
What a pleasure it was seeing so many folks behind the effort of the Groveland Dog Park on Saturday. We had waves of teams through out the morning join us with hoes, picks, wheel barrows and lawn mowers, weed wackers and the like. Everyone found a purpose. The transition from the morning to the afternoon was phenomenal. Thank you again.
The organizing group will meet in the next week or two to layout our next steps, pick the next work day and get us ready for grass, holes for posts, maybe some stump removal...and I will send out another email at that time, I just didn't want to wait another day to tell you all what a great job you all did and how much fun it seemed everyone was having getting this to pull together.
We love our dogs!

Hotel Dog Named Goose works for Groveland
Our Hotel Dog, Goose is a local celebrity and Mayor of Groveland, okay, Honorary Mayor. Between his duties of meeting and greeting Hotel and Restaurant guests he also has a very busy mayoral calendar filled with photo shoots, interviews and meetings. One of Goose's key causes right now is building a community Dog Park and working with our local politicians on getting everything passed and funds raised. Goose's website highlights his activities for this year.
www.MayorGoose.com. The dog park info is on www.MayorGoose.com/causes.html
If you would like to ask the mayor some direct questions, his email is Bark@MayorGoose.com
While originally the Honorary Mayor program was a fundraiser all in good fun coordinated by the Yosemite Chamber of Commerce, www.Groveland.org, Goose has raised the bar and is an actual working Honorary Mayor, marketing Groveland and the surrounds and supporting important causes. Goose's sponsor is Camp Tuololumne Trails, a special place for kids and adults with special needs. www.TuolumneTrails.org. Goose's campaigns have raised nearly $5000 for scholarships and other programs for the camp.
Please contact: Mother Goose at: HotelCharlotte@aol.com for stock publicity photos, victory walk in the annual parade and one of his advertising posters for the Yosemite Chamber of Commerce. We hope his little story makes the cut for any media story on pets in the news!

We can't guarantee when the weather will be good or bad, but we can adjust our policies such that you can book with confidence.

Mayor Goose and the Dog Park
Fundraising efforts for the Groveland Dog Park started this week with the GCSD announcement and subsequent article by Mike Morris of the Union Democrat, who we are please to say mentioned the Mayor's website in his article...(officially moving us out of the self published, vanity press genre!)
November 12: We received a $2500 matching funds annonymous donation. This is so exciting, Goose has never done anything like this before. Our first checks came in today and we received another paypal donation. We are 10% of the way to our matching goal!
November 9: At the GCSD Board meeting it was learned that GCSD was successful in their waiver request to Fish & Game to remove the $1993 fee for converting the idle land to a dog park. We now have a short waiting period before digging can commence.
The project has been broken down into the following steps (and in this order too!)
Since we are so close to a move forward position, the group has agreed to start the fundraising efforts for the development of the park. There are two ways to donate:
Write tax deductible check to GAINS and mail it to

Groveland's Mayor, Goose begins his Reign of Terrier
Mayor Goose Begins his Reign of Terrier
By Friends of Goose
The small but bustling Gold Rush era town of Groveland, California near Yosemite National Park recently “elected” a new mayor, and his name is Goose—and he’s a DOG! His was a hard fought campaign, the other three candidates were human after all, and so had a slight advantage when “stumping” for votes, but at the end of the day The Best Dog Won.
Goose has scheduled guest appearances and photo opportunities for press, neighbors and friends at many upcoming local events and good works causes, such as the Groveland Halloween Festivities on 10/31, Cabaret Charlotte on 11/1, Holiday Craft Faire at the Community Hall on 11/14 & 15, Hotel Charlotte Wine Dinner on 11/15, the Community Thanksgiving Dinner on 11/26 and Photos with Santa on 11/28 at the Groveland Fire Station.
Goose’s favorite charitable organization will always be Camp Tuolumne Trails (http://www.tuolumnetrails.org/) offering groups of all ages with special needs an outdoors experience, with fully accessible lodging, dining, and recreational facilities on 80 acres in the High Sierra of Central California, only 25 miles from Yosemite National Park. This year Goose will make an appearance to shake it up at the big Camp Tuolumne Trails New Year's Eve Extravaganza on Thursday, December 31st. All are welcome, Please contact Virginia Gustafson, 209-962-6336 for details.
Goose is very enthusiastic about beautifying his home town. Last Spring, when a platoon of pillar painters with pails of purple paint painted the Hotel Charlotte pillars purple to fulfill a promise of Kay's mayoral race. Goose in turn promised to remove this pitiful purple graffiti if he became Mayor of Groveland. We are pleased to announce that the purple pillared reign of Kay has disappeared under a fresh coat of white.
Goose has established office hours on an irregular basis of nearly every Tuesday afternoon from 2:00 to 2:30pm for folks to drop by and give him their causes and issues to take up in the World Wide Political Arena. Brainstormers, Marketers and those with a great sense of humor are invited to join us to build the momentum. Goose is prepared to go to Sacramento and Washington to represent his constituents and community. In fact he already went to Sacramento at the California State Fair this year to campaign for Tuolumne County but he missed meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger in the crowd, him being so tall and Goose being rather close to the ground.
Thank you for helping to make Goose your Mayor, he won't let you down.

Dog Park suffers setback, Goose steps in
BREAKING NEWS! Groveland's New Dog Park suffers a set back!
This week it was learned that the dog park committee, (just a bunch of regular folks who have dogs and want a public place to run them) will have to foot a $1993 bill from the department of Fish and Game before the park can be developed. Mayor Goose will lead the fundraising charge with his paypal donation button. All proceeds donated from this date (October 16th, 2009) until the fee is collected will go to the dog park fees. Please help!
What Goose is up to?
Goose's Birthday: September 13th was Goose's second birthday where he met the flirty Lucy, but at the 49er parade he received a proposal of marriage and has decided that at two, he should keep all romance options open.
Purple Pillar Painting: One day last spring a platoon of pillar painters with pails of purple paint painted my pillars purple to fulfill a promise of Kay's mayoral race. Goose in turn promised to remove this ugly graffiti if he became Mayor of Groveland. We are pleased to announce that The purple pillared reign of Kay has disappeared under a fresh coat of white. Celebrate!

Did we miss fall?
Seems fall started two days ago, and now there is snow in the Sierras with major cross roads temporarily closed! Tioga Pass Road and Glacier Point Roads are closed.
I was really hoping for an Indian Summer to sweep in and warm us up again for another couple of weeks. Perhaps there is still a chance.
We still have tickets to our wine dinner: Quaffing the Coast part 1, Mendocino.
See you soon.

It is somewhat difficult to believe, but the Dog named Goose won and is now Honorary Mayor of Groveland! Upon our return from up north, Goose has expressed an interest in setting up office hours. We will need to establish a list is issues we need Washington and Sacramento to be aware of and to work on for Groveland.
We are very excitied about the opportunities the coming year will present to us in the endless marketing portential and look foward to the fun. It has been an honor to have Camp Tuolumne Trails as our sponsor, http://www.tuolumnetrails.org/ and we hope our efforts on their behalf will bring them much more that the $1600 raised on their behalf by the mayoral race fundraiser effort.
Tickled!

Dog named Goose runs for Mayor of Groveland
The Hotel Charlotte dog named Goose runs for mayor. The dog is perfect for Groveland. We can shape the future of our community through a voice someone with some influence might actually listen to, if not out of humor first. What do the other candidates REALLY bring to the table? A dog for mayor is funny, refreshing and a friendly concept to our many out of town visitors, endearing them ever more to Groveland and assuring many return visits and referrals to their friends and family. I can hear it now..."Groveland is so cool they even have a dog named Goose for mayor"
Neither Kay nor Peggy nor Barry need be concerned about losing to a dog, within a week after the finals, nobody will remember who else was even running. Well, they might remember Kay, but Peggy and Barry...don't need to worry. The dog will still love you.
Let's make a difference today. Try something new. Want change, this might be the smallest investment of your life for the greatest return. What if someone takes notice of our town dog for mayor and we really do see some action up here on things we need? What if.....What if everyone who reads this gets online and donates $20 to the cause....We might actually stand a chance against that professional fundraiser Kay. What if you did it right now. www.HotelCharlotte.com/goose.html. Go ahead, make the donation...What if we win?
Committee to Elect Goose Mayor
www.twitter.com/goose.html
Only 36 hours remain to final count down....even less by the time you read this...Don't wait another minute.
Besides the Good for Goose, good for Groveland bit, your donation is also good for Camp Tuolumne Trails! www.TuolumneTrails.org.

Fall Entertainment Schedule
Now that Summer is over....Let the fun begin!
During the summer months the Hotel Charlotte supports their neighbors entertainment programs waiting for the quieter months when there is a bit of a chill in the air and a less hectic pace to bring you our entertainment schedule.
Cabaret Charlotte with Dennis Brown & Friends, Sierra Sounds returns for another two performances of last spring's well regarded Singing through the Decades, a show that brought many a patron to the dance floor and a tear to the eye as we remembered some of our very favorite songs served up by our good friends and singing neighbors.
The shows are Sundays, October 25th and November 1st with doors opening at 5:30. Priced at $54 this fantastic evening of exceptional song and food will surely be the highlight of your fall excursions. Make it extra special, add a room for just $89 more including breakfast. Details are updated regularly at www.HotelCharlotte.com/cabaret.html. The Cabaret Shows have always sold out, so make your calls early for the best seats.
Fall starts Wine Time at the Charlotte with our new series: Quaffing the Coast with Sommelier, Nicole Daracq. This is a 5 evening program featuring favorite wines from the northern California Coastal Counties paired with delightful dinners from Victor's kitchen. We introduce our wines from North to South: (Full menus and wine selections to follow)
- Mendocino: October 18th:
Roasted Red Pepper bruchette appetizer followed by a heart of palm and artichoke heart salad, a hint of lemon pasta with shrimp, Filet Mignon and Creme Brulee for dessert. - Sonoma: November 15th
- Santa Cruz: February 21st
- Monterey: March 21st
- San Louis Obispo: April 18th
Priced at $64 inclusive of tax and tip, you will find these wine events rival the best of the best offered in SF or any of our California wine regions. Nicole is an entertaining and very knowledgable wine hostess. Add a room to any of these dinners for $89, including breakfast. Purchase season tickets for all shows and receive a 12% discount. Details are updated regularly at www.HotelCharlotte.com/quaffing.html
When enjoying event evenings at the Hotel Charlotte, tax and tip are always included. This makes a big difference when comparing entertainment prices else where. No real gas milage, great food, and good friends. Call to sign up for your favorite programs today!209-962-6455.
By the way, with the holidays right around the corner, a wine dinner series or night at the Cabaret might be just the treasured gift you want to give! We already know it's the gift many want to receive! 209-962-6455
We look forward to welcoming you!

Dog Named Goose, running for mayor of Groveland!
Only 17 Days Left to Bribe our candidate!
High Noon, September 17th, is the deadline for the 49er Festival sponsored Honorary Mayor Race. The candidate turning in the most $money$ is named Mayor, a very simple process. Dollars are accepted in exchange for raffle tickets with great prizes, like $200 gas cash, a night out at the Black Oak Casino with dinner at Seven Sisters and casino cash and a whole lot more! For every $1 you spend on raffle tickets, a candidate gets a vote and the candidate's sponsor gets funding too. This is a win-win-win program. And if you don't win at the raffle, you might take your receipts to your tax professional and ask him or her about their deductibility.
While the 1st year Mayor, Kay Glaves, has had no demands put upon her by the Chamber in honor of her position, this coming year if Goose is Mayor, he will actually act like one—firing off posts to Arnold and Obama, who he is in contact with already via Twitter. Goose will reach out to people from all over the world acting as a delightful ambassador to this wonderful town we call home, Groveland: The Gateway to Yosemite.
We have taken unofficial counts and the Goose will need a big donor to pull this one off. Kay who had made a lifestyle of collecting money for causes is clearly the leader. Given that she has all day and all night every day of the week to work on the project, it's no wonder. Goose hasn't had the exposure to getting your $ that Kay has had because he works all day, every day, and most the nights too!
This is one of our last chances to ask for your support and you can give it anonymously. We promise we won't tell Kay that you voted for the dog. www.HotelCharlotte.com/goose.html or twitter us at www.Twitter.com/GooseForMayor. Stop wishing us luck and come one in to the Hotel Charlotte and put your money down on a result that will catapult Groveland into world wide headlines.
