Thank you Margy for posting a reply to my questions. Sorry to hear that you have been ill. Do hope you are feeling much better and that you continue to improve. Hopefully, such a committee as you have described will come together & begin the "fight for our lives". Will both committees work together so that we do not have fragmentation? It would certainly be to our advantage to work with Patti Strand, she has a good background in this arena. Where can we learn of the coordinated efforts of the present committee? I am about to become involved with the Georgia Coalition as the Recording Secretary of the Atlanta Kennel Club and would like to know if the present committee has any recommendations or what they may have achieved - working together is a great time saver. I don't recall seeing reports in the PC minutes but then I could easily have missed this. Thanks for your help.
