Savings Bond would be fine:) Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit _http://www.pinehillgsds.com/_ (http://www.pinehillgsds.com/) In a message dated 6/21/2012 1:40:08 P.M.

No money prizes shall be offered. Gift cards/certificates, non-redeemable for cash or US Savings Bonds may be offered.Clubs offering a Scholarship as a prize must submit funds directly to the School the Junior is attending. Clubs may establish an account to maintain these funds until the time the Junior requests the award be sent to the school.All other prizes must be described or value stated, and must be offered for outright award. No prize may be offered that is conditional upon the breed of the dog being handled. The above is from the AKC rules for Junior Showmanship. I believe the group that wants to offer the cash prize could offer a gift certificate from a store of their choice. That certificate then could be offered at the national or a local show. At least that is the way I read it. I say offer an Ipad :0) Terry ________________________________ From: "myjoygs@xxxxxxx" <myjoygs@xxxxxxx> To: terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx; ELG440@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Trust in your board If Juniors receive a cash award I don't believe that would make them loose Junior status. If they handle a dog for someone and get paid for doing that, then they would loose Junior status because they are not considered amateurs anymore because they were paid for a service. That is the way I understand it.

If that is so then I apologize for the temper tantrum. Thanks Judy for the education.� How about a scholarship fund through the Scool of Hard Knocks :0) Would be easier.

And now you want me to trust them?? GMAFB!!!!!! � Make the award a west coast award and let the board do their own thing.� We have many west coast juniors that are deserving.� Pick one of the shows in CA that takes place just before the national have the juniors compete for the prize money. Have a club dinner and award the check and honor the juniors. A check handed out after the fact or mailed to the parents after the national is really a put down to your generosity. � Terry ________________________________ From: "ELG440@xxxxxxx" <ELG440@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 8:37 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Trust in your board � In a message dated 6/21/12 8:20:00 A.M.
