I attended the NAIA conference, along with Paul Root. Stormy was also to attend but, for reasons that are unkown to me, did not. Paul asked everyone on the RALEEF committee if they were interested in attending. I volunteered and it was a worthwhile experience. I am impressed with Patti Strand and her organization. I would be very happy to see the GSDCA affiliated with an organization of that caliber. The GSDCA paid for my conference registration, my room and my travel. I paid for meals not included in the conference and for transportation to and from the airport and for airport parking. You'd have to check with Paul and Lew regarding where the funds were taken from to pay for the conference, but I was under the impression that it came from RALEEF monies as a legitimate RALEEF related conference. I know that Paul worked with Lew in getting permission to send GSDCA representatives to the conference.
