committee budget).
Specialty Match – Alex & Margaret Hoover.
Jamie will get the boxes of picnic supplies he has at home
to Alex and Margaret.
Local Specialty – Rachel Paulson. Rachel
asked if folks would like to graze during the show or enjoy
a meal after the event concludes. She took a poll of the
members present, but it was suggested she send out a note to
the membership.
Holiday Party – Linda Kitzman.
Lori presented a suggestion to Linda Kitzman
regarding holding the holiday party at Bonefish Grill on
Wadsworth (across from Southwest Plaza). Lori knows the
owner from her son’s baseball team. He offered a fundraiser
to the baseball team and now to DSA where tickets for a
dinner including appetizer, salad, and a choice of 1 of 4
entrees were included in the $20 price. At the conclusion
of the dinner, the owner offers back a portion of the ticket
sales! Both Lori and Thalia had attended the baseball
fundraiser and the food was incredible. It was served, not
buffet, and the seating was open so people could mingle
easily. The area where we would sit is just a section of
the restroom, not a separate room, so there would not be
enough room to conduct the rescue raffle. However,
representatives of rescue committee (Sue, Thalia and
Michael) were ok with that, since this fundraiser would pay
for a good part of the holiday party. Michael had a great
suggestion to move the rescue raffle to the Agility Trial in
January, which would open it up to more people and increase
the potential of more raffle ticket sales!
Linda is consider this suggestion. If you
like this suggestion or have other ideas please let Linda
know.
