Since I am running unopposed for President of the GSDC of St. Louis, I need the help of the list in ideas for educational programs at our meetings. We have the AKC Dog Museum for our meetings, and member owned dogs are welcome to attend. We have a diverse membership, with every interest from conformation to Schutzhund. We have single pet owners, and long time breeder members, so we need ideas that would appeal to all, and hopefully not bore some to tears. Health issues are always welcomed, and we have had programs in the past on Bloat/Torsion, OFA (Dr.Keller), a program on teeth cleaning, and DM. Can you share some of the ideas that your clubs have presented with me? I know that some of our members are bored with the business part of the meetings, and we hope to improve attendance with some great educational programs. Thank you in advance for sharing.
