enter into Negotiations with other straight racing

That the
parent club have a "starting box reimbursement"
program. That any new (has not held a WRA, or
other racing venue such as CWA or NAWRA meet) club which
acquires starting boxes prior to or within thirty-six
months of their first race meet, the meet which made
them a WRA member, and continues to hold WRA meets would
be reimbursed $100 for each of their first three WRA
meets. (2000, updated
2004) |

| 5 |
That the parent club make a $200
charitable donation each year. This could be to
the AWC Health Foundation, to a Vet School or other
organization that would ultimately benefit
Whippets. Each club could submit one candidate and
they could be voted on at each year’s national, with the
check then going out prior to year-end.
(2000)
That the parent club
set aside $200 from each years income, to be used to
directly benefit Whippets. This doesn't necessarily
have to be
to an
organized charity, but can also be used to help individual
whippet owners who are faced with unexpected expenses.
The WRA will not accept applications for these monies, but
will consider situations brought to its attention. A 2/3
vote of the WRA board is necessary to make any grant. In
any year that it is not given, the money will accumulate
for this purpose.(updated 2005) |

| 6 |
That anyone who feels he/she has
a claim against WRA for monies spent have to submit
receipts to the Treasurer by January 15, of each year
for the previous year, or forfeit all claims to said
reimbursement. (2000) |
| |
|

That $2,500 of the current bank
balance be put into a CD. It would still be
available if needed but would be earning interest.
(2000) |
| |
|
| 8 |
That the parent club increase
it’s annual "trophy donation" for the WRA National from
$100 to $200. This would put some of the
per-capita money back with the clubs.
(2000) |
| |
| |
| 9 |
That the Board explore the
feasibility of Incorporation and/or Tax Exempt
Status. If the findings are favorable the
WRA will file for either or both Incorporation and
Tax Exempt Status, and will change the wording of
the Constitution and Bylaws at that time.
(2001) |

|
| 10 |
That the parent club
initiate a program of "Top Ten" awards. This
would consist of presenting plaques to all of the
dogs finishing in the top 10 for each year,
beginning with 2001. (2001) |
| |
|
| 11 |
That the parent club make
the top 10 awards program retroactive to the
beginning of WRA, and present plaques to each of
the top 10 dogs for 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and
2000. (2001) |
| |
|
| 12 |
That all "official"
mailings to all clubs (rule books, ballots etc) be
sent "return receipt requested". Rationale
is to KNOW that all clubs are receiving all
official documents.
(2002) | |

At the "fun match" held each year in conjunction with
the WRA National Race Meet, along with the Best in
Match, the judge will have a number of select awards
to be given at his/her discretion. The number of
awards will be one for each 25 entries, not to exceed
five (5). The parent club will sponsor these select
awards and provide the rosettes to be given. (2004) |
