I am proud to announce I have been nominated, interviewed and unanimously elected the new Treasurer for the American German Shepherd Rescue Association. I'm making this announcement because I know you will soon be thinking about getting your new 2010 Rescue Calendar at the GSDCA Nationals in October in Ohio and want you to know we have a Special Deal for you this year! We have combined a 2010 calendar (and wait until you see the calendar this year !! ) with a Rescue Tote Bag, a Rescue Pen and a Rescue Magnet. All of these will be available for a $25 donation. You can still purchase the calendar alone for $15 but we're hoping you like the package we've put together. Each of the others are also available for individual prices if you need extra's. :) You can use the tote bag to carry your Red Book and your Program and your pen will already be in it to keep track of the show results! As most of you are aware AGSRA is a 501(c)(3) corporation that funds rescue organizations from all areas of the country via grants. We are totally a volunteer organization with just a couple of sources of income. We have calendar sales and a silent auction at the Nationals and donations. I have received my first grant request and am ready to fund it. I have to share: when I received the boxes of grants requests we funded last year and read some of them the stories broke my heart. All those compassionate and hard working people out there that open their hearts and homes to our GSD when they have been abandoned and abused have my respect, my admiration and my prayers! Please join me in working to keep the funds coming in that allow us to support the efforts of all these wonderful dog rescuers. Plan on picking up one of the Rescue Tote/Calendar/Pen/Magnet packages at the Nationals when you visit our tables to look at the Silent Auction items. If, by the way, you have something you'd like to donate for the auction contact any one of us and we'll make arrangements to get it. In the mean time I look forward to meeting many of you that I chat with on the list(s) in person.
