Dog robber read scratching of last growl and also gave financial and membership reports. All reports approved by Pound (Financial report subject to audit)
Roadrunner Pound 112 received a certificate and a letter of gratitude from Marines Helping Marines for our donations of $100 Bones. We also received a letter from the Past Pack Leader and Current Dept. of Arizona Commandant John Walker thanking us for our donation of $100 bones to the Dept of Arizona Scholarship fund.
After discussing fund raising projects and other MODD business we move on to the business of nominating, electing, and installing 2009 Pound 112 Officers. Ther were no multiple candidates nominated for any of the offices so the Dog Robber was instructed to cast one unanimous ballot for the entire staff. That was done after each nominee agreed to serve. The following Dawgs were installed into office by Past Pound Keeper, PNC Eddie MacIntyre:
Pound Keeper--- PDD Frank Alger, SR.
Sr. Vice Pound Keeper-- DD Tom Solnit
