This committee (Zoa's idea) falls under Public Relations (if it's what Dania is talking about). We've spent this year building a foundation since no one really did PR last year, and are going to have a Welcome Wagon (Waggin') at the Nationals to greet all first-timers and help them get oriented, have pictures of breeders in attendance, and give those breeders (any of you) an opportunity to talk about your dogs, your activities with them be it herding, agility, conformation, obedience, Schutzhund, etc. I'm very excited about this - and if you want to volunteer to work the booth, be the papparazi (we provide the Polaroid) or want to show off your dogs, email Zoa and I. It's going to be a lot of fun, and very informative!
