Who are we?
The Portland Great Dane Community is a non-profit group dedicated to information sharing, information, and the fancy of the Great Dane breed. We are collectively owners of pet dogs, show dogs, and performance dogs. Our efforts include educational seminars, training information, health information, and an online website and forum whereby members and potential owners can communicate. The group is also supportive of Great Dane rescue efforts.

What is our purpose?
The following are the objectives for which this organization has been organized: 
- To be advocates of responsible Great Dane ownership 
- To serve as a local educational resource on Great Dane ownership 
- To remain actively in contact with and developing relationships with local Dane rescues 
- To collect and administer membership fees and other funds donated for the enhancement of the off-leash dog
  exercise areas, emergency medical assistance for members, rescue support, and instructional events for members
  enabling responsible Great Dane ownership.

How can you help?
As a non-profit group, PDX Danes is always looking for areas to expand its reach. In the past, member funds have supported local rescue efforts. You can help by donating products, services, or money. Products or services will be used for raffle at our annual Great Danes of Summer. This event has attracted the attention of local media personality, Drew Carney, in the past and is always well-attended by members and those who are Dane-curious. 

When is Great Danes of Summer?
Our 4th Annual Great Danes of Summer will be held Saturday, August 28, 2010 at Wilsonville’s Memorial Park Forest Shelter. This will be an all day event where members, non-members, and the general public are invited to “meet the breed,” learn, share, and get to know one another. Vendors are invited and space is being offered at no charge.

What do you get?
Free advertising! We will gladly post your website and/or contact information on our website
(E.g.: http://pdxdanes.com/content/forums/viewthread/336/ ). You also get a tax deduction for your donation to our group. Our heartfelt thanks—PDX Danes could not continue to do the good things it does without support like yours. Thank you.
