NEXT MEETING 7:30 PM. Monday, February 13, 2012 Linda Eastlake, Sue Reichel & Janet Berry would like to propose setting up a class for those wishing to do Therapy Dog Work. President s Message HELP!! We need help in finding a home for OCOD. Our club has become dependent on the whims and pricing of other organizations. Currently, we were fortunate enough to find a facility both convenient and free of charge; however it is not available yearround. Therefore, this is not a panacea for our future. We need to find a building or property in which we can plan for the future expansion of the club. Guidelines when looking should include affordable property, with or without a building, and parking available for at least 50 cars. This is a time where a soft market exists, so we all need to be looking for an appropriate location. Let's find OCOD a permanent home! (Remember: Our next monthly meeting, on February 13th, will be at the Daytona Beach Kennel Club, 960 S. Williamson Blvd., Daytona Beach, 32114, same place as our Awards Banquet and Christmas party). Sincerely, Clancy Johnson

Monetary donations totaled over $250. I had a pretty good count on the amount of food donated prior to graduation (just over 350 pounds). But so many more bags and cans and boxes of food were brought the evening of graduation that there was no way I could record it all. I d guess that between what was donated after the September meeting,after the October meeting, and then at graduation, the total was over 500 pounds. Thanks to all who helped out.
