National meeting scheduled for Sept. 26, 2010

We now have the CSSA approval for our CSSA National to be held May 10 to 12, 2012 followed by our Regional Specialty on May 13th at the Ancaster Fairgrounds.

Now we just need to get approval from the CKC. I am going to proceed with the premise that we will get our CKC approval.

With that being said, we will be holding a national meeting on Sunday, September 26th. Location yet to be announced.

I am hoping that many of you will attend this meeting, as hosting a national is a monumental undertaking and cannot be pulled off by just a few members. We are hoping to put into place some of the committees that will need to start organizing immediately several items for the national.

So, please come out and join us. I will post the location as soon as I can.

Regards

This should be a great seminar, so don't be disappointed, sign up soon.

UPDATE: The seminar spots for people with their dogs are full; however there are still spectator spots available. Please let Donna know if you wish to attend, so we can plan for lunches, etc. thanks!

CSSA Regional Specialty Thank you!

Thank you to everyone for their support of our Regional Specialty held on Sunday, August 1st in very hot, sunny weather.

We may not have had an overwhelming entry but the quality of dogs and bitches presented to our Sweepstakes judge, Terry Pavey and our Specialty judge, Tom Coen was impressive.

My thanks to everyone who donated monies for our trophy fund. To Maureen McCaveney for the judges' gifts of vases painted with two of their own kennel's favourite shelties - you are a very talented artist.

Thanks to June Davis and Lindsay Evans for helping to sell raffle tickets for the Ex-pen, crate and director's chair. And MJN Show Services for your usual fine job of keeping our club organized and for providing the beautiful ribbons.

Candid shots from the specialty can be found on Evelyn Susin's website, thanks Evelyn!

I'm just about finished typing the catalogue results and will post them shortly. My congratulations to all the winners!

Again my thanks - you made my job as Show Chair easier!

Cathie Kraemer
2010 Regional Specialty Show Chair
