What a wonderful day

Mother Nature Loves Great Dogs! -

After several days of rain, she gave us a beautiful sun shine-y day for the third year in a row - a priceless donation to the Third Annual VGSR Tournament & Auction. Everyone was in a good mood and glad to be on the beautiful golf course. The "working dogs" were champs at getting everyone motivated and involved. They made a clear statement of the mission of VGSR and folks responded!

Players, guests, families and volunteers (obviously) love great dogs! - everyone opened their hearts to our wonderful GSDs. The Putting Contest required a Putt-Off to name a winner; the 50/50 Jackpot winner made a generous donation back to VGSR as did some other raffle winners; winning Golf teams got wonderful prizes, and all the teams received great 'goodie' bags. The Auction items were terrific and were in great demand. Food was wonderful and the company even better.

If you were able to join us, yesterday, - we'd love for you to share your thoughts with us. Please comment on the post!

Pictures, in gratitude information, and more specifics on this terrrific day will follow.
