I thought every club had to have an evacuation plan when holding a show. Am
I wrong?
As far as the rest, I was just barely a teenager when we had to evacuate in
a hurry with the Russian Army on our heels. If we hadn't prepared for it
then we might not have made it.
You have to have a plan, and it seems that most of our GSD people did have
one hearing the good news that they are ok.
I would also like to contribute. What is most needed and where do I send
it? Please give me some advice. It seems I missed some of the posts.
Thanks, Lee
