Letter From Our President – August 2010

Woof — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:29:47 +0000

It is time for our annual Specialty. There is always a lot to do, but because of the hard work and cooperation of all who were and are involved and the donations of Club members, we will surely have a great weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen.

Remember to mark your calendars so you will not miss any of the events. Thursday, August 5th, will be a Supported entry show. Saturday, August 7th, will be a Sweepstakes and Supported entry show. Saturday evening we will have a picnic at 6:00 PM at the Fairgrounds in the Government Building. Sunday, August 8th, will be our annual Sweepstakes and Specialty Show followed by a catered luncheon.

The August Club meeting will be held Saturday evening after the Club picnic. The picnic starts at 6:00 PM and is for Club members, exhibitors, and friends. We usually have 80 people present at the picnic. Please come and bring a covered dish or two to share with our visitors.

Our June meeting was a picnic held at Ottawa Point Pavilion at Brecksville Metro Park. Thanks to Bob Miller for acquiring the park sight for us. There were about 20 Westies and about 30 people in attendance. We held an auction of Westie items this year. Everyone had a good time.

I would also like to remind you that dues for the coming year are due on or before the last day of August. If dues are more than ninety days late, membership will be terminated.

Hope to see you at our Specialty weekend and our picnic meeting.

Gary

It is finally Spring and time for our April Meeting. Hopefully the snow is about gone for this year. Our last meeting was held at the K9 Pipers Place. We had a talk by the one of the owners about grooming and clipping nails. She also answered questions from our members and guests about nutrition. After the discussion they offered to clip nails.

It is time for us to nominate Officers and Board members for the coming year. If you would like to run for a position, please contact me so that I can inform the Nominating Committee. At the next Club meeting, we will be looking for members who are willing to serve on the committee.
