Andy,

You set an example of how commercial ventures and not for profit groups can
focus on common goals to protect, preserve, and enjoy our great outdoors.
The Pheasant Challenge AZOD sponsored at Desert Pheasant Recreation brought
dog trainers, kennel operators, and canine food producers together with
members of many outdoor not for profit groups. Most attendees left the
event with a greater knowledge and respect for the interests of the other
groups. The event survived three separate rain storms without loss of
participants which speaks volumes for the character of the companies,
groups, and individuals involved.

It was my pleasure to participate in this along with a number of fellow
Chandler Rod and Gun Club members.
Our functions with safety, judging, and gunning made it possible to learn
more about the various types of gundogs and meet some really fine people who
share our interest in the outdoors.

Thank you, Andy, for the opportunity.
