"A start of something BIG; starts from something small".
after the April 26, 2009 CSDC's - Summer Beach Outing with Dogs; i just noticed by now
how fast pacing it was for all of us. it was only March 29, 2009 that we formally organized and founded the club in which on March 29, 2009 we conducted our election of officers. from a start of roughly 10 members during early March not even two months after(april 26) we now have a strong membership of more than 60.
lets try to walk thru the memory lane.... from ideas, to plans, to planning table, to actual work, to reality:
March 1, 2009 - san isidro dog walkers composed of less than 10; walks their dog from Talisay District Hospital to Talisay City Hall Via SRP.
March 8, 2009 - san isidro dog walkers adds non san isidro dog walkers, now more than 10 members.
March 15, 2009 - no dog walk due to bad weather.
March 22, 2009 more non sad isidro dog walkers joins in. dog walker's count more or less 25. 18 on the head count of the dogs.
the former "Dogwalker's"(as what they call themselves before then) of san isidro WITH the participation of other non san isidro Dogwalker's agreed to call the initializing group to "TDC or Talisay Dog Club".
March 24, 2009 - the formal letter sent to City Mayor's office to have permission to enter the premises of Talisay City Hall Grounds during Sunday afternoon had been approved and City Councillor Shirley Belleza even invited the group to join the Talisay Landing Parade, to parade our dogs. unfortunately the Talisay Landing is March 26, 2009 and it is too short of notice to other group members. We promised to be a part of other events NEXT time just give us due time of notice.
March 26, 2009 - asking members to propose their plan of activities and events for April and May. aside from the regular weekly Dog walks every Sundays. so that it wont be the usual Sunday dogwalk every weekend.
March 29, 2009 - Now this is when the originally dog walker's of san isidro composed of less than 10(ten) dog walkers and dogs now HIT 28 dogs on the head count. primary set of officers was elected among the more or less 35 members present there.
