Well,
after a whole lot of discussion, the OKDog executive has prioritized where our
efforts need to lie for the next year. Quite
simply, we need more members! Every day
I meet frustrated dog owners who love Kelowna and love their dogs. His or her dilemma seems to be the same as
everyone else's. 'Where can I network
and find activities I can do with my dog in this beautiful town?' I'm here to tell you that OKDog is here for
you.
Our dilemma is 'where are our members'? Over the last few years there
has been a steady decline in activity and membership. We are a new
board who passionately want to be out there having fun with our dogs,
organizing events, creating awareness and setting a good example. We
just can’t do it alone, WE NEED YOU! We need members and we need
volunteers. Basically, we need participation from you frustrated dog
owners. So what is the solution? Get involved! Let's all work together
and solve this problem! If you are not a member, we urge you to become
one! It's simple, just contact Dara-lynn at

Our second goal is to turn our website into a resource for locals and
tourists alike. We would like to encourage you to start using our
website as a resource. Once again, WE NEED YOU! So if you have a lost
dog, a found dog, want a dog or are looking for a home for a dog,
e-mail me at

Or if you simply have a neat or interesting dog story, an event you
want people to find out about, maybe you’re planning a fundraiser or
you just want to meet other people with the same breed. Whatever it is
you're doing, think of www.okdog.com
as your doggie networking website! Send us the info and we will post
it. Let’s put the community spirit back into our community!
Brenda McBurnie,
President Okanagan Dog Owners Association
