Presidents message to AWPGA, March 2007

25 03 2007

 

Greetings My Fellow Griffoniers. 

Do you know that I love our club?  The AWPGA means so much to me. Most of my friends are members and all members are my friends. I have been going through lots of personal change lately and the one constant is my dogs and our club. The thing about clubs is that we have people involved. And I do not have to tell you that people make things interesting, just take a look at our latest minutes later in this issue.

But I want to remind everyone, we have great people who do wonderful things. They may not do them the way you or I would, but they do things. They exhibit, perform, breed, train their dogs and they do loads of volunteering for our club. I want to thank everyone who does so much for all of us.

We are very happy to announce that our club will be advertising in Gun Dog magazine. Look for a Griffon issue in May/June time frame. We feel this will highlight our wonderful members and remind the public of what a real Griffon is all about. I hope that those of us, who participate in the Breeder referral program will really see our membership value rise with the use of this new form of public education. Well I have      6 week old pups calling for dinner so I’ll cut this short. Enjoy this issue of the Griffonier and may God Bless You.

Our Daughters and Grand Daughters came to Wye Mountain for the Daffodil Festival and Sheila’s Birthday. I was quite a time. The puppies are tired and so are we. God, Family and Friends is all we have that matters. Things seem quiet this afternoon. Pups are resting. I guess I’ll watch some hoops.milderd-and-kids-web.jpg
