PAST GALT PRESENTATIONS
Anderson Elementary
GOLD Day
May
2 , 2003
Well, one thing is for sure, certain greyhounds love children and most children love them right back! Recently, GALT volunteers, Scott and Joann Young, daughter Cheryl Boeve, and Buffy Milner, took four greyhounds, Moon Shine, Dana, Hank and Katina, to Anderson Elementary School for GOLD (Greater Outdoor Learning Day). This is an annual event, and parents, companies, and friends set up booths where they teach the students about their hobbies, sports, jobs or other interesting things.
It was a rainy day, so they were provided a classroom in which to set up - storyboards about the greyhounds, muzzles, a racing silk and brochures - and, of course, greyhounds. The kids came in small groups to see the dogs and learn about retired racers. The volunteers made presentations about the life of a racing greyhound and also explained what GALT does to save these wonderful dogs. At the end of each presentation the students were quizzed, using the color chart, about the color of each of the dogs there. The student to answer each question right got a bumper sticker.

Clubs (AMBUCS) Presentation
Tuesday, November 19, 2002
On Tuesday, November 19, Suzanne Griggs, GALT's Vice President and Secretary, gave an informative luncheon presentation to the Plano Chapter of the American Business Clubs (AMBUCS). About 30 people heard all about greyhounds and even got to see a few in person!
Korkie,
Xander and Maverick along with their owners, Nancy and Kristin, charmed
the crowd and loved the attention. GALT's sincere thanks to Dave Hollands,
a greyhound owner himself, of the Chapter for helping to spread the word
of greyhounds as companion pets. If you know of a club or organization
that would like a presentation about greyhounds, please email
GALT.
