The Junior's project is still working. About an hour ago I was told our bandwidth had been used up. I have no idea what that means, but it is fixed now. As you may know, Rin Tin Tin has donated medal pins for each person who enters Juniors, and another medal for the class winner, and then a large medal, ribbon and plaque for the Best Junior Handler. Pictures of the pins and medals are on the site. I have spoken to the AKC and they agreed that I can present a savings bond to the Junior winner at the after-show-dinner. I haven't gotten approval from the GSDCA for this yet, but I think it is probably the same as the year we gave a package of gifts to each Junior. Maybe with the ribbons, medals and bond it will encourage a bigger entry. Frank Fasano is helping me with the details and he will present this to the board. I will buy the bond in the amount of 75% of what is in the account, thanks to your donations. We will announce the amount at the dinner, (if the club agrees) and I will purchase it to mature at the age of 18 of the Junior Handler, then send it to the home. Again, all costs will be paid. The Junior Handler fund will remain to grow for the next year. I would appreciate any suggestions as to who presents this. I would like someone other than me, and perhaps the president, or the head of Juniors would be the person to do this. Or, if it made sense, I could designate a person who I feel should do it. Evan L.
