Hi Everyone, I am passing this along to the list as Carolyn needs some help with the GSD Meet the Breed Booth at the Javis Center on October 20 and 21st. I have been at the GSD Booth for the past two years, but unforunately my neice is getting married that weekend and several others who helped last year had conflicts this year. So, please if you can help, contact Carolyn who's information is in the email below. This is a great opportunity to showcase our wonderful breed and to educate the public about them with about 30,000 people attending last year over the 2 days. This booth is always busy and last year we were 1st place in the Herding Group and the year before 4th.

Right now I am bringing two dogs (both sables) and my trainers are bringing two dogs, but we really need at least six since they really get tired of being petted and hugged by the public - 20 minutes at a time is what we did last year and it worked well. I like to have two dogs out at all times. I also need people knowlegable about the various disiplines our dogs do. We are also going to do a Schutzhund obedience demonstration for the first time. I have the dogs lined up for that, but that means I will need people and dogs to stay at the booth while we do the demo. To add to testing my organizational skills, I received a promotion and transfer to Quantico, Virginia so I will be moving or just have moved by Oct. 19 (set up day). So I will either be commuting from an empty house or driving up from my new house in Virginia. So I will not really have a lot of time in Oct to do any last minute recruiting. Since I am pretty much using all of the same pictures and booth frame set up as last year, we are set on that end. I just really need people friendly dogs and knowlegable GSD people. Last year we had six people and five dogs on Saturday (two without dogs) and five people and five dogs on Sunday (one without a dog). Not having that extra person on Sunday really made a difference, we missed a lot of opporutnity to answer questions. Plus, since we really want to promote all of the 2013 Philly events, I need people. I know it is just after the National. But I am hoping you can help recruit for me.
