Note from the President: Here we are and it is already 2008. The National Trial is just around the corner and the Raleigh K-9 Unit is excited but anxious. We are welcoming anyone in the region that would like to help us prepare for the trial. I hope that we will have a great showing from the members of Region 2. Remember…you have to have a region certification within one year of the National trial with a score of 560 to be eligible to compete. I expect to see quite a few in Rocky Mount as that will be last opportunity for members to qualify for the National Trial. Rocky Mount is hosting PDI trials in April and Aiken is hosting PDII in March. Winston Salem is hosting PDII in the fall. We still need someone to host PDI for fall of this year. If you are interested please let me know. We have created a training committee for the region. Ronnie Johnson, our South Carolina Vice President is heading up that committee. If you have ideas for training seminars, opportunities, etc., please forward them to Ronnie at SIDRI@aol.com. The Raleigh Police Department is hosting an explosive seminar May 27-30. The ATF will be here for a week to provide classroom and practical training and it’s all free. The only requirement is that you are a member of the USPCA. See the website for registration information. The class is limited to 25 handlers. We also welcome trainers and supervisors. Donnie Dollinger is now the Awards Committee Chairman. Please forward your cases of the quarter to him. His address is on the website. Remember there are deadlines so try to get them in early. We love to hear about successful cases in the Region so send them in. As your President, I like to hear from you about your concerns and ideas. I can’t present them to the Executive Board if you don’t contact me. You can contact me at Ptmedlin@aol.com or call me at 919-369-3300. Train Often, Your President, |
