ANGLEMAN WALK

Mid-May -- Information on the way! 

     If ANY of our chapter members do an "Outreach" (Cub Scout Pack Meeting, a school presentation or "show and tell" opportunity, speaking to a civic organization or business, etc.), PLEASE let me know. I report to Beck Hein at Canine Companions each month (mostly) and she documents the information and sends it to the National Headquarters, so that they can see what the state of Utah is up to (in a good way). So if you're out there "spreading the word" and showing off your pup, let me know so that your efforts can be counted.

IMAGINE INDEPENDENCE

When: Thursday, April 10th

Where: Union Station in Ogden

Time: 5:00pm - 9:00pm      (Of course most of us will be there ALL DAY!!) 

     This is our BIG fundraiser, folks, and it's important for ALL of us to get involved in any way we can. It's not just about the money (well, yah, it really is....), but it's also about coming together and working hard to make this event one of the biggest and best that the Wasatch Front has ever seen. It's the "Outreach Event" of the year! We'll have ample opportunity to show off our pups and share with our guests how these dogs can make a difference in an individual's life. Our guest speakers are going to be fabulous (all graduate teams), the food, fantastic, and the items in the Silent Auction are going to "knock your socks off"! It is the place to be on April 10th! Invite your family, friends and co-workers! It will be an evening to remember! Hope to see you there!

HILL AIR FORCE BASE SPECIAL NEEDS SUMMIT

When: Thursday, March 20th

Where: Hill Air Force Base - The Landing" - Building #450 - Directions to come later
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm     (Set up at 9:00am)

      From Marilyn - "This is one of my favorite events (I'm taking the day off for this one!) and is a great way to share Canine Companions for Independence with military families who have or know of families who have children with disabilities."

 

     The "Summit" is a wonderful opportunity to make people aware of our organization and introduce them to puppies in training. In the past, our booth has been one of the most popular (because, you know we have the best props!) not only with families seeking information, but with the other vendors as well. It's the best!! Can't think of a better way to spend four hours......being with the pups and spreading the word about Canine Companions. Hope you can make it! 

     We've requested that our booth be in a corner (so that the pups may have some room to "stretch out" and also to be near the "Freedom Riders". Kids, dogs and horses.....a winning combination to say the least (that's how I see it!). Make sure to bring clean-up material (just in case) and some water for your four legged pal.  

     The "Summit" will be providing lunch for two people, but can be purchased by all others. A good time to practice "under" and those house manners. It seems like the dining area was just down the hall from where the "Summit" was taking place. We can check that out later. Logistics are very important when your puppy is on the younger side. I'm always on the look out these days for nearby exit doors. Just in case --- 

     If you DON'T have base privileges and are planning to attend the "Special Needs Summit", Marilyn will need to have your current State Driver's License information as soon as possible, so that you can get on base. It's going to be so much fun! Hope you can make it!
