New Business

  • Marketing Proposal
    • It has been asked that the Youth Council consider having members be required to contact at least three buyers.  Proof would be the signature from each potential buyer. 
    • Suggested gift cards as an incentive to complete this requirement.  The more buyers’ signatures acquired the more chances to win.  Three prizes total for the drawing.

      • Every animal (excluding horse, dog, cat and pocket pets) must attend once every three years.
