Discussion Results:

  • Gone with the Dogs will be discontinued as the results were not effective for the time and effort spent; Charlie’s heroic efforts were acknowledged. 
  • Having a booth at the Yorktown Street Fair was very successful; we will do it again next year. The rack cards and pencils proved to be very popular
  • A hold will be put on ordering more tee shirts as in small quantities, they are not a cost effect way of raising funds
