The Bark Newsletter
To submit an article to our Bark newsletter, please contact Michelle Buchan.
Every issue of the Bark usually contains a message from our President, Moira Corrigan, a message and perhaps some fun games and puzzles from our Bark Committee which will include Rainbow Bridge memorials, adoptions, donations, important notices, contacts for our adoption and home visit reps, and more. Here are the highlights and the issues of past editions of the Bark.
The Greyhound Bark is GPI's bi-annual newsletter prepared by our volunteers to help members get in touch with the going-ons within the organization. Although we do not set a subscription fee, a minimum donation of US $10.00 per annum to cover the mailing and printing costs is greatly appreciated.
To help us reduce the cost of mailing, we request that if you're moving, to inform us of your new address instead of letting the postal service return the newsletter to us for mailing to the correct address. It will also keep our database up to date with your current address to ensure that we can locate you if your dog gets loose and is found by a stranger.
We encourage you to submit articles for the newsletter, but due to the bulk of articles received and the constrain of space, we do not guarantee that your article will be printed in the newsletter. To ensure that we receive your article on time for each mailing, please submit them to the above address before the following dates: (Please inquire)
