2019 MAI Closing Ceremony




All the handlers arrived at HQ and gathered to celebrate the conclusion of the 2019 MAI. The room was arranged with circular tables where groups of people were able to share drinks, snacks and stories. MARC President Bob Swift addressed the crowd and showed a short video clip from a local TV station where Janet Wood and some other MARC members were featured. It was neat to see the dogs up on the “big screen!”



He thanked all the Sponsors and exclaimed that this Third Annual event was a grand success and the best one to date. Mother Nature certainly did cooperate with spectacular views and comfortable temperatures. Event Secretary Macy Swift then began the arduous task of announcing all the Qualifiers.
