Winners of the Regional Directors and Presidents Awards
A detailed article on the Regional Directors and Presidents Award is contained in the March/April issue of the Magazine. We delayed publishing the results so that they could appear concurrently in all three USA media.
The winners of the Regional Directors Award for the six (out of ten) participating regions are as follows -
Northwest Region: Redwood Schutzhund Club
Southwest Region: Der Hundesport Performance Club
Southeastern Region: South Metro Atlanta Schutzhund Club
North Central Region: O.G. Bierstadt Schutzhund Club
South Central Region: DFW Working Dogs, Inc.
Mid-Central Region: Tornado Alley Schutzhund Club
The GEC proudly awards a plaque and a cash award of $250 each to these Clubs.
These clubs stood out in their regions by their efforts to promote our sport in a positive light and with good sportsmanship and conduct, which encouraged growth and camaraderie amongst their members.
The winner of the 2008 GEC Presidents Award
From regional winners we selected the best club for the President’s Award.
The GEC proudly awards a plaque and a cash award of $350 (making a aggregate cash award of $600) to:
Redwood Schutzhund Club
Congratulations to all these clubs and their members!
The members of these clubs will also receive a "pin" designed by GEC Secretary , Katja Hunsecker and it is our hope that when they wear it they will be blessed with good Karma.
Our thanks to all the clubs who participated and to the Regional Directors who saw the benefits of identifying and recognizing such "good club" behavior and actions. We are hopeful that more regions will participate in the 2009 Awards which will be kicked off soon ( subject to budget and other approvals).
Sincerely
Rifky Mackeen
Chair - General Education Committee
