Many thanks to all who are working so diligently to create a great Specialty. Having been part of planning committes for some professional conferences, I know first hand all the work that is involved. I also know that without the feedback from our membership and attendees who are not members, that continually improving the conferences would not be possible. That feedback comes in many forms and all of it should be evaluated objectively. Most people don't even know who the conference planners are, let alone all the work involved.
That said, I was one of the people who stated I would not support a Lancaster based Specialty. I, like so many others, do contribute to the efforts against puppymills, financially and through education. Together these are forceful tools, if only we could get them to work faster, but that is my personal lament. I meant no personal slight or attack by my message, but simply a statement of MY personal position and BTW, I wouldn't support an event held in Missouri either. Thank you for listening and thank you again for all of your hard work. I am sure the event will be wonderful and I look forward to attending and helping out.
