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!
