BILL, THIS IS VERY GOOD AND A REAL HELP TO THE HOUND DOG FRATURNITY !! INFORMATION IS KEE TO BEING ABLE TO MAKE INFORMED DECISONS. THIS IS A VERY GOOD STEP IN MAKING AN AFFECTIVE LOBBYING EFFORT. ALSO A VERY GOOD REASON TO BELONG TO THE MSDA AS THEY ARE WORKING TO KEEP US ALL BEHIND A HOUND.

NOW WE THE HOUND DOG FRATURNITY NEED TO BECOME ACTIVELY PARTCIPATING, MAKEING THE CALLS ETC. IN OTHER WORDS "EXECUTE" THE PROPER COMMUNICATION.
