Dear Listers, Christmas seems to be rapidly approaching as evident in all the stores that have Christmas items out!!!!!!!! I have once again been enlisted by my friend Ron Aiello, US War Dogs Assoc. to start thinking about care packages to the K-9 units overseas. Here is the website for a list of items needed: www.uswardogs.org. I know to some it is a bit early to start thinking about care packages but by the time the items are collected, shipped to Ron, repackaged and sent overseas it won't be that early. I was also thinking that this oraganization that does so much good for our breed and their handlers overseas that maybe the parent club could so some kind of monetary contribution and recognition? I know some other breed clubs have done so, just a thought. I plan on conducting a care package drive as well in my son's school, and maybe get something going with our local club again.
