There are no charges at this type of cocktail party - there will be a cocktail party for the membership also WITH CASH BARS THE SAME SPONSORS AND DIGNATARIES WILL BE PRESENT there also. This celebration is about and for the members - we do need sponsors, just like we need Purina for other club activities. This is not meant to be EXCLUSIVE of the MEMBERS , we are offering everything else for the benefit of the members. Your suggestions are welcome, How important is the historical DVD to the members ? How important is the historical DVD booklet to the members ? Should we honor the MWD, SAR DOGs Assistance Dogs of our breed, and non Military Dogs who work daily to help with our security and safety? Should we honor the 5 branches of the military and their MWD? Should we pay tribute to the Veteran Military Working Dog Handlers?

Sounds great to me. You could even have a small charge to get in, for those wishing to attend to defray cost. There is not good reason not to include everyone. There are many reasons against exclusion.... Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com <http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com/> UPDATED: July 20, 2011 Home of: CH.

It is a way to acknowledge the SPONSORS, be they corporations, friends, members who have made special parts of the Celebration a possibility. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
