Announcements
New to Prairie Vista NAVHDA? Curious about what NAVHDA is all about? Or perhaps you’re simply looking to meet more fellow members? Look no further – we have an exciting event tailored just for you!
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Lunch and Learn event, designed for both members and non-members alike, happening on Saturday, April 27th, from 10am to 2pm. See the attached PDF for more information. This is a free event but we do need everyone to RSVP.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Engaging Discussions: Dive into the world of NAVHDA with interactive discussions covering everything from training methodologies, tools and jargon
- Meet and Greet: Connect with current members, trainers, and volunteers, and forge new friendships within our vibrant versatile dog-loving community.
- Informative Sessions: Learn about the mission and values of NAVHDA, and discover how you can get involved and make a difference.
