From The President
Our
B Match in July and our Agility Fun Day in August were huge successes! Each program/meeting brought almost 30
people in attendance with 10-15 terriers in action. Several new members were accepted at both meetings.
A
big THANK
YOU goes out to our Match Judge and Club Member, Keith Bates, who did a
wonderful job judging the entries. He made
sure all the exhibitors and their exhibits were comfortable and enjoying
themselves. The icing on the cake was
after the match, when Mr. Bates placed a dog on the table and explained to the
group exactly what a judge is doing during the table examination. He also gave some important handling tips to
the exhibitors.
Another
big THANK
YOU goes out to Club Member, Norma Lattimore, who instructed the group
during the Agility Fun Day. Ms.
Lattimore introduced the novice audience to Agility. She handily led us through our paces and shared some valuable
information regarding training and trial preparation. It was very evident that she is knowledgeable and experienced in
this craft and that she enjoyed what she was doing. As a result, everyone had a wonderful time.

THANK

Election of Specialty Show Judges
In the interest of time and due to contracting
requirements, the Board has selected the judges for our next two specialty
shows (2005 and 2006). A new process
for election of judges has been defined and approved by the Board for the 2007
show and forward.
This new process will involve the membership and
calls for a membership election of the judges.
Club members with “Full Member” status will be able to participate in
this process. Associate members cannot
participate in this new process.
To become a member with “Full Member” status, the
member must attend two consecutive meetings.
In addition, the member must notify the Membership Coordinator, George
Tibaldi, of his/her desire to become a “Full Member” and the dates of the two
consecutive meetings that he/she will attend.
We plan to start selection/election for 2007 judges
very soon. If you are an Associate
Member and wish to become a Full Member to participate in the
selection/election process, contact
Breed Referral
Up until this point, the function of “Breed
Referral” has been handled by
Starting in October, our Club website will provide
a link to an email address or website for breeders who are Club members. If you want your link included, you must let
us know. Contact our new webmaster,
Murray Fife, at Murray@thefifes.com with your breed and email/website
information.
For breeds that are not
represented by Club member breeders on the web site, a link to the specific
local or national breed club will be provided instead.
Thanks, Doug, for the
time and effort you have put in to the Breed Referral program over the years.

Dear
Members - We need a newsletter editor.
Our previous volunteer moved out of state before taking over the
responsibility. It is in the best
interest of the Club that the president does not serve as the newsletter
editor. I can continue for the
remainder of this calendar year.
Please, volunteers, step forward now.
Give me call and I will explain the job to you and the time commitment
it requires.
Thank
you,
