The Bracco club

[shirley]

This club is my club- this club is your club- this club belongs to every single member. This is how I feel. I have not met all of the members of this club, I have spoken to a few via telephone and email. What a wonderful group of people.  This club needs all of these people.
      Mike and Peggy Casper where I purchased I bracco are wonderful people who you can tell really love and care about the breed. They have been incredibly helpful to me.
       Dan and Lane Conrad, Dan has gone to Italy several times, ( I  need to marry that man - only kidding Lane) and has meet Judges and breeders. The Conrads strive so hard to maintain the Italian standards, and have acquired so much knowledge.
      Theresa Young, when I mentioned to her that I was thinking of possibly traveling to Europe to obtain a puppy invited me to stay with her, and offered to travel with me. So wonderful and kind.
      Then there is Amanda, who in the world would not stand up and applaud this strong young women. She truly did take the bull by the horns, or the bracco by the ears to get things rolling. Through all her efforts you can see her passion for the Breed. I'm sure there are so many other dedicated people out there that I have yet to encounter.
      If we all reach out to each other in friendship, support and keep the lines of communication open, what a fantastic club we will have. We can agree or disagree, we are all adults and understand that agreeing to disagree is what makes the world and life interesting.
     What I am asking is please for the sake of this breed, the club and all the wonderful folks involved, is to work together, to inform all the members of what is going on, to ask for input, hold elections, make motions according to AKC and UKC rules of order and to have a great club, have fun and make so many new friends along the way.

Thank you for listening, this is just one more opinion..
