OFFICER REPORTS:
Regional Director-Dr. Dena McGowan
We have added two new clubs, United Fido SchH Club in the Dallas area, and Big
Country SchH Club northeast of Abilene. We have four forming clubs Lubbock SchH
Club, who are planning their affiliation trial for March or April, San Antonio SchH
Association, Alamo Working Dogs in San Antonio and a group in El Paso.
We were well represented at last years Nationals in Dickson, TN by Clement Dang and
Fox, Mark Natinsky and “Acappella” Archer, Dave Kroyer and Italo who was injured in
obedience. Glad to see them entered this weekend. Also, was nice to see so many
regional members there to cheer them on.
The helper seminar was well attended. Danny Grayson was one of the teaching helpers.
Windy Pool and Kevin Coombs participated. Julia Grayson, Rene Gelsomino, and
myself were in attendance.
Under new business I would propose we considered using some of the money sitting and
doing nothing, in the regional account to help the region’s youth attend the T. Floyd
Youth Camp.
