Is your dog an alpha dog – how about a top dog? This is one of the questions dog trainer, Jean Conte, asked participants at a recent gathering at Spectrum Generations’s Coastal Community Center. Conte explained the 10 tests a dog needs to pass to receive certification from the American Kennel Club. Sophie- a Burmese Mountain dog, Lucy-a Cocker Spaniel, Tillie-a German Shepard/Austrian Cattle dog mix and, Jacques – a miniature Poodle, all did their owners proud as they socialized and got to know one another. In fact, 9 out of 10 passed the American Kennel Club tests with #10 asking for a re-count. No alpha dogs here…..
Volunteers Serenaded
On December 15th, over 65 volunteers at Spectrum Generations’s Cohen Community Center enjoyed wine and hor ‘s douvres as a show of appreciation by the staff. As volunteers enjoyed good company and good food in our lovely dining room overlooking a meadow, they were serenaded by the Cony High School Madrigals singing group. The spirit of the holiday, the spirit of appreciation and the spirit of giving all joined together for a memorable volunteer event.
