I am pleased to announce and ashamed to admit, that The German Shepherd Youth Recognition Fund just today sent out the first check to last year's winner, Trevor Golden. Proud because I could send it, ashamed because it took me this long. Law, magic and dog shows seemed to get in the way. Trevor turned 18. I was setting up the fund when I found out he already had turned 18, and was headed to college. I guess he now can drink, vote, get married, or smoke in Texas. I recommend that he vote. Now is the time when I will start begging again for this year. It is our 100 year anniversary and I would like to make the winner of the Junior Handler at the National an award that shows how much we all appreciate the dedication and work put in. Please send a donation, of any size, to GSYRF 440 East Commonwealth Ave. Fullerton, CA 92832. It is tax deductible and the right thing to do. I am going to continue to keep donations private, but we all will know who we are, and what we have done. Remember not one penny donated goes to anything other than the winner. I pay all the costs and the medals are donated by another club member. Other surprises will come up later, but nothing is taken from what you donate. It all goes to the winner of the Junior Handler at the National. Expect constant nagging from me. I have already made my donation. Evan L.
