PRESIDENT’S REPORT-Linda: The club purchased a second laptop computer to use at trials. The work party was successful and all equipment was checked out and ready to go. After the work party some members (Linda, Lindsay, Bruce, Fred, Pat and Patti) went to Linda’s to do all the paperwork needed. All scribe sheets, gate sheets etc. were organized and the trial was all set to go.

Thank you to Mary Phoenix for doing such a good job on the lunch and hospitality. It was well received by all and we will do it again.

Buffet judges dinner at Snowshoe was perfect. Much better than ordering off the menu, this is also set up for the Sept. AKC trial now.

Check the website, some changes have already been made with more to come.
