My Week as a Kennel Helper
Martha Kohberger is our volunteer who will arrive before the Expo starts at Raynham Greyhound Park. She is serving a one week internship as a kennel helper in the Aljo kennel and farm. Al Smith and his wife Joyce will supervise Martha during the week. Martha will be doing everything that a kennel person would be responsible for during that week, including getting up by 6AM to do morning turnout, changing beds, picking up poop, and making their food. For those of you who know Martha, you know that she will do just about anything to promote greyhound adoption! She probably will not be able to convince the racing greys to buy raffle tickets from her, although she can be very persuasive!! You also know that Martha's groups gets most of their dogs from Raynham and a large number of those from the Aljo Kennel. Martha will find out how life was for all her future adoptee's before they retire to her group! The price of Martha's internship is giving a talk to all Expo attendees at Raynham. She will share with you her duties and impressions of working in a real racing kennel and greyhound farm. Have your questions ready for her!
