New GPA-Tucson Sub-Chapter

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

Rory Goree, President of Greyhound Pets of America announced at the Arizona Department of Racing commissioners meeting that an agreement has been reached with Tucson Greyhound Park, to set up a GPA chapter, known as Greyhound Pets of America, Tucson on site. This agreement is subject to approval of the GPA-Sub chapter committee and approval of the members of the GPA-Tucson BOD. Until this agreement is final, there will not be any other organizational announcements made.

When we reach a final agreement and all appropriate approvals have been processed, GPA-Tucson will become a sub chapter of GPA.

The next few weeks will be busy, exciting and challenging ones said Goree. Please be patient with us through this time as we have much work to accomplish, Goree also noted that this will not be an easy task, but he knows the volunteers of the greyhound adoption world are people who take difficulties and turn them into miracles.. Negotiations regarding this organization have been in the process for several months, Goree noted, and now have finally reached a point that all parties agree that this was the appropriate thing to do on behalf to the greyhounds at Tucson Greyhound Park and that the appropriate support will be in place to assist the chapter.
