Sorry that Jarbas cannot make our SummerFest

“Dear NEPGP Members

I was so excited with the invitation to work with and for you all in the very first summer edition of your renowned Seminar and Dog Grooming Competition.
But to unforeseeable circumstances I will not be able to attend it. My apologies to all and I hope you will have a great show as always.
Jarbas Godoy”
