An annual PE
booth will now be at the National Specialty each year, hosting the photo contest
and also providing literature available through AMCA and AKC. Please visit the
table!
I would like
to welcome Carmen Rowe and Sheila Hjermstad as our new Public Legislation
Co-chairs. Together they hope to keep our membership abreast on new legislation,
and help us decipher good and bad points regarding legislation such as PAWS. If
you have any ideas or suggestions about Public Legislation please feel free to
direct these to Carmen or Sheila.
Our
committee will be discussing our present literature and updating and possibly
reformatting literature to be downloaded easily off of a website. We would
welcome any suggestions from the membership.
I would like
to thank all of the previous members of PE and also new members that have agreed
to step up to the plate and help us.
Enclosed at
the bottom of this is a list of our committee. The focus leaders are busy
getting their own teams together to provide PE for their area. Please, please,
help if you are contacted. Being on the team could mean simply bringing
literature to your local kennels club show, entering a benched show just to
educate, doing a meet the breed booth at a local show, participating in a
parade, going to a school to give a demo on working dogs, or just a talk about
malamutes to someone who asked. It could simply mean making a call to someone
that can do it. It also could mean putting on the Eukanuba Classic
Meet the Breed Booth if it comes to your area. If you are at the National
attending, it could mean straightening the table, or taking entries for the
Photo contest. We would love to have your help.
We currently
still are in need of a focus leader for the Mid-East Region. Please contact me
if you are interested!
It is our
responsibility as members and breeders belonging to the AMCA to educate our
prospective puppy buyers and the public about our breed, so that they can make
educated decisions about bringing an Alaskan Malamute into their family/home. We
would like to encourage our affiliate clubs as well as our rescue organizations
to help us and to participate in continuing the education of our public
regarding our magnificent breed! |
