Please circulate the following widely.

You can still make plans to attend Top Dog 2013! The deadline for 
registering and making hotel reservations has been extended to 
December 20, 2012.

If you have already registered and will be traveling to Savannah by 
plane, bus or train, contact us at the above email address with your 
itinerary and number of travelers. We hope to provide transportation 
to and from the airport and bus and train stations.

Where else will you find three days of workshops, exhibits, fine 
Southern food, Southern hospitality, and the chance to visit with old 
friends and to make new ones? Where will guide dog handlers, puppy 
raisers and friends of the guide dog movement be going in January?

They'll be heading for the Southeast Regional Top dog workshop, 
January 11-13, 2013 in the Hostess City, Savannah, Georgia.

Be sure to register and make your hotel reservations before December 
20. Unlike at some events, we won't be able to offer registration at the door.

You won't want to miss a program with highlights like these.

    * A Top Dog tradition, the Blessing of the Guide Dogs
    * A panel discussion on current advocacy issues for guide dog handlers
    * A veterinarian speaking on the basics, ears, teeth and flea prevention
    * An interactive session on peak experiences with our dogs
    * An optional  Red Cross certification course in canine first aid
    * A banquet speaker who will inspire us with her story

Online registration is available at the website, 
<http://topdogworkshop.org/>http://topdogworkshop.org/ or by phone 
and through the mail. The registration phone number for registrar 
Sally Benjamin is (850) 588-9070. The registration cost for Top Dog 
2013 is $25.00 per person. Don't delay; the registration deadline is

Room rates at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Gateway will 
be $89.00 per night, plus 13% sales tax. These conference rates will 
apply from Thursday, January 10, 2013 through Sunday January 13, 
2013, as well as three nights prior to and following the event. If 
you choose to, you could stay as many as nine nights at the special 
event rate. Up to four people can share these comfortably-sized rooms 
and a hot breakfast is included in the room rate. Located off of exit 
94 from I95, the hotel is just 15 miles from the Savannah 
International Airport and a similar distance from both the Amtrak and 
Greyhound stations. It is located approximately 18 miles from 
Savannahs downtown and historic district.

Make reservations at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites by 
calling the hotel directly at 912-925-2700, making certain to mention 
group code GGD (Good Good Dog). The event is also listed under the 
name of Georgia Guide Dog Users. The deadline for registration and 
hotel reservations is December 20, 2012. Make your plans now to come 
to Savannah in January 2013. Y'all come on down!
