<div style="color:black;font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I attached a copy of the bylaws in one of the emails I sent earlier. I have attached it again here.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our bylaws do not include the mention of mixed breed dogs except for 'humane welfare of all animals"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our object is: "to further the advancement of all breeds of pure-bred dogs.</div>
<div> "to urge members to accept the standards as approved by AKC"</div>
<div> "to do all in it's power to protect and advance the interests of pure-bred dogs"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While several years ago, we thought that perhaps reaching out to people who owned mixed breed dogs would result in hopefully bringing them into the world of pure-bred dogs, it never seemed to pan out that way. We are an AKC Member club. I feel we need to remember that. </div>

<div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">Thanks to Cheryl for setting up our Zoom! Connect Details follow this text.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">We will begin this week. As previously noted / discussed our tech platform (Site, eMails, Social etc) is essentially our public face. This is especially true because we have no fixed physical location. As previously discussed, our first order of business is to positively identify who we are so that we can begin to discuss how we wish to represent. Our agenda for this first Zoom, therefore is pretty simple:<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div id="yiv7337182737qt" style="">
<div>
<div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">
<div>1.) Clarify who we are<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;" dir="ltr"> We should review our mission statement in our incorporation documents and also our bylaws <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;" dir="ltr"> ** Does anyone have a copy of these to distribute? **</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;" dir="ltr"> What our membership app reads (probably close) is:<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;" dir="ltr"> <span style="font-size:0.889em;" class="yiv7337182737size"><span style="font-family:sans-serif, sans-serif;" class="yiv7337182737font"> "<b>a non-profit club of interested dog fanciers dedicated to furthering the advancement of pure-bred
dogs through AKC sanctioned, matched, licensed shows, obedience trials, and participation in
performance events that include mixed-breed dogs. The GMDC also participates in public education
activities and fundraising to encourage and promote responsible dog ownership in the interest of the
humane welfare of all animals</b>"</span></span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">2.) Clarify what we do - <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> Point show, meetings, programs, education etc.... This is somewhat contained in the app copy quote above<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">3.) Describe why someone would want to be a member of GMDC<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">4.) Begin the discussion about what we maybe DON'T do that we should, ie, monthly newsletters, member participation, etc.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">5.) Also, *perhaps*, begin the discussion of how we want to represent GMDC (Visually, interaction capability, etc) THis is just to begin the main topic for next month.</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">See you Thursday. <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">NOTE - this email has been sent via a Mailing List I set up called <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" ymailto="mailto:GMDC_Tech@jpivovar.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:GMDC_Tech@jpivovar.net">GMDC_Tech@jpivovar.net</a> Obviously, it is set up on my personal domain because we do not at this time have platform capability to set up a mail list. It's a pretty old-school (simple and reliable) means of group communications. You are all welcome to send to this email address knowing that the mail will be distributed to and archived for all members of the committee. Other examples of group communications will be coming your way!<br>
