Tentative Date for PB-P is June 7th, a SUNDAY. I originally planned on a Saturday but the park is booked up for the days I originally hoped. Just waiting to get the 'official' approval next week, but the woman I spoke with at the Parks dept this afternoon said the event was approved.

ok, i have an idea for when i give the cgc.. how about instead of charging money, people have to bring collars and leashes from the dollar store instead? this way , we can donate collars and leashes to your favorite shelter/rescue ? maybe that would be a more incentive for folks to take the test?

ME, since you're doing the CGC, I'll leave that up to you. If you want to charge, that's fine. If you want to do collar/leash donations, that's fine too.
