Hello all. Below, I'm pasting an announcement I received about the top 
dog event for 2013. I hope some of you can make it.

TOP DOG RETURNS IN 2013

The popular Southeast Regional Top dog workshop will happen again, 
January 11-13, 2013, this time in the Hostess City, Savannah, Georgia.

Georgia Guide Dog Users will welcome guide dog handlers, puppy raisers 
and many dogs and puppies from the Southeast and around the country to 
the Holiday
Inn Express Hotel and Suites Gateway Conference Center at 17 Gateway 
Boulevard East in Savannah for three days of workshops, exhibits, fine 
Southern food
and hospitality, an optional city tour, and the chance to visit with old 
friends and to make new ones.

A committee will be hard at work this spring planning the sort of 
memorable program that you now expect from Top Dog and a complete 
schedule will be circulated
in advance. Please share your suggestions and ideas with us at
2013topdog at gmail.com

Registration will be available online or through the mail beginning in 
August 2012. When you register you will be able to choose two lunch and 
two dinner
meals priced very affordably and you may opt for the Friday afternoon 
tour of Savannah’s historic district.

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.

Make reservations at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites by calling 
the hotel directly at 912-925-2700, and make certain to mention group 
code GGD
(Good Good Dog). The event is also listed under the name of Georgia 
Guide Dog Users. Make your plans now to come to Savannah in January 
2013. See y’all
