Our culture is one that empowers every individual to be his or her best, and such authentic connection inspires the way we care for each other and for our guests.

The above is from https://about.hyatt.com

It has just been announced that a convicted child molester who must annually register as a lifetime sex offender has teamed up with a Hyatt brand hotel in Dewey Beach DE to hold an event in that hotel in October 2018. When Hyatt says they "care for the community" and that "everyone matters", it would seem by their action that this includes caring for child molesters/pedophiles and that their "sexual orientation" matters above those in the community who should morally and legally be protected from child molesters, pedophiles and sexual offenders.

Bravo Hyatt for taking that caring attitude and ensuring everyone matters including those who use sex to violate others. Perhaps now would be a good time for not only a rethink by Hyatt of their standards but also by the world community to rethink their support and patronage of Hyatt owned properties for trips and vacations.

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY NIGHT!

Greyhound Nation, you are currently in a fight for survival. Some of you may not like what I’m about to say, but when has that ever stopped me from speaking up for what I believe in and the greyhounds I will forever stand up for.

If you truly wish to survive, stop doing the same old things. Realize this round is no longer in the legislative arena. The playing field is now in a state-wide campaign to destroy your livelihoods. The opposition is based on a value structure of hate and propaganda and manipulating the facts. Your first step must be to act professionally. No more stupidity on social media. No swearing. No duck faces. If you want to be taken seriously, act like it.

A leader needs to rise to the top and take charge. Without guidance, a plan, vision and/or a clear mission, the Greyhound Nation is running amok. A leader needs to put together an experienced team that can manage the message and keep all up to date in a timely fashion. Can we afford to have our message be presented as if we are coyotes scratching fleas? We need individuals that present themselves as professional, accurate and knowledgeable members of our cause.

I call on the National Greyhound Association to step up and save the Greyhound Nation and bring aboard a leader to lead us against the evils that want to destroy greyhound racing.

This is not a state legislative issue, it is currently a state-wide campaign, it is an issue that affect every state with greyhound racing and greyhound farms. And no matter what side of the issue you take, it is also an issue that will impact greyhound adoption organizations.

We CAN do this. Let the nation see who has real values built on honesty, integrity and let them see that those opposing greyhound racing have values based on hate, manipulation and political deals.

We need to remove the "me" and "I" from the landscape and look to a leader that can guide us as one.

You can fool yourself. You can cheat until you are blind. It not only can happen, it IS happening. We can change the future if we reach for survival with a strong, honest and forceful leader and save Greyhound Nation.

Legacy……….

On January 4, Mr. Bruce Halle, founder of Discount Tire passed away. I had the privilege of working on a Discount Tire project a few years ago.  Two things were very obvious my first week on the contract.  When a customer called for help, you did whatever it took to take care of it and worked the problem through till resolution was complete. Corporate headquarters did not let those at the stores hang. Another refreshing observation was the friendliness found in the Discount Tire workplace. It was almost like everyone was family

Now remember I was not an employee of Discount Tire. During my time there I was just a faceless contractor hired to assist with an SAP implementation. One afternoon on my way back from lunch, I noticed an older gentleman walking towards the door I had just entered. I went back and I held the door open for the elderly gentleman. The gentleman looked at my badge and said "thank you, Rory". When I mentioned it to co-workers they remarked, oh you just met Mr. Halle. From that point on during the project, anytime Mr. Halle saw me he always greeted me by name. The founder set the standard for courtesy at Discount Tire.

During my time at Discount Tire, a local fellow greyhound adopter needed new tires. She had her greyhound with her when she dropped her car off at Discount Tire. It was during the summer months and for those of you who may not know, here in the valley of the sun temps are often over 100 degrees and it gets very toasty in a vehicle. Later that afternoon when she picked up her car, she did not see it in the Discount Tire parking lot.  Asking where her car was, the Discount Tire technician told her that the car was in another lot parked under a tree so it would be shaded and kept cooler for her greyhound. That is what Discount Tire employees do. They care about their customers.

Courtesy. Caring. Consideration. Doing your job well. Mr. Halle lived that from the day he started Discount Tire with very little money and 6 tires till the day he passed way as a 5-time billionaire. That is a legacy that is passed down from Mr. Halle to many who had the privilege to meet him or work for Discount Tire. 

Be nice, treat others as you would want to be treated and take care of customers. You do that and you will be successful.

We each need to ask ourselves - What will my legacy be? Will it be all about me? Or should we strive to be sure our legacy is what we have taught others and shown to others so that they can pass along kindness and service to others? 

BLACK 'GREY' FRIDAY FUNdraiser - PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS!

***Check out the contest Greyhound Pets of America is running on Facebook – go to Facebook then go to Greyhound Pets of America - National***

Hi, I'm a Black Greyhound and I need your help. There's a group out there called Greyhound Pets of America. If you haven't heard of them, check them out. They're pretty cool. They are volunteers and LOVE Greyhounds and would do anything for them. Because of this, I decided to solicit a bunch of my friends to help me raise money for them.

When discussing what we could do, one friend suggested a competition (you know how much we love to compete). My friends all think they are the "best dog ever". So, in the spirit of friendly competition, we decided to have our humans submit their favorite photo of us. YOU get to decide which one of us will hold the title of BEST BLACK GREYHOUND.

Check out all the photos below and vote for the one you feel best suited for the title of BEST BLACK GREYHOUND. My friends are listed in alphabetical order along with the group's name that helped them find their forever home.
Once you've decided on your favorite, click this link www.greyhoundpets.org and click on the DONATE button. For every dollar you donate, my friend and their group will get one vote. So, if you donate $10 that = 10 votes. The more you donate, the more votes my friend and their group will get.

When the competition is over, the dog with the most donations/votes wins the title of BEST BLACK GREYHOUND and their group along with Greyhound Pets of America will split the donations. It's a win-win for all.

The contest runs from 11/24 (Black Friday) at 7:00 a.m. to 11/27 (Cyber Monday) at 11:00 p.m. EST.

Please help us help our friends at Greyhound Pets of America.
Sincerely,
A Black Greyhound

Is it all about the greyhounds?

This past weekend I was at The Dewey Gathering and noticed just a few folks wearing a purple shirt which they purchased from an event held in a national hotel chain brand in Lewes/Rehoboth Beach, Delaware area during the same weekend.

The back of the purple shirt had the slogan “It’s all about the Greyhounds”, yet this shirt was purchased from an organization that is run by an individual who is a convicted child molester who is required by law to register for life as a sex offender. 

What was the crime of this individual? Molesting two young girls. 

What does this individual's organization bring in from the t-shirt sales and donate to greyhound adoption? Difficult for anyone to know as the organization files a 990N and thus a factual financial report of anything is unavailable to the public, who apparently is to fully believe the word of this individual when it comes to donations. Much like parents believed that a teacher was on the up and up then suddenly discover the teacher is molesting children.

So, while you may be proud to wear a shirt that says “It’s all about the Greyhounds” which was sold to you by this individual, be very sure it really is about what you are being told and it is not really about paying event expenses, reimbursements and frills for the organizer first and only then if there are leftovers will anything be donated to greyhound adoption, providing of course that those greyhound adoption groups volunteer their time to "work" at the individual’s events

So what next? Is someone going to start an on-line fundraiser to get donations to help this individual's not-for-profit so that his not-for-profit can raise funds?

Here is a blog from Nov 1st 2016

You have a choice……….

October is fast approaching which means it is that time of year again when 2 greyhound events are held during the same weekend in Delaware. 

One is called The Dewey Gathering.

The other is run and owned by an individual who has the requirement to register as a sex offender for their entire life.  

The reason for a prison term and lifetime sex offender regstration?  Molesting two innocent young girls.

You have a choice. 

You can help support greyhound adoption efforts directly.

Or you can support a convicted child molester and allow him to choose how much and to whom your donations and registration fees benefit...after all of the individual's expenses are covered. Are you 100% positive the individual can be trusted with children, money or animals? Do you feel that just because a convicted child molester with lifetime sex offender registration is involved with greyhounds that it makes everything "aok" in your eyes?

when is sexual predator kid friendly?
