National meeting - November 7, 2010

Good Morning All
Could we have asked for a better Thanksgiving weekend!!!! I hope that you are all enjoying family, friends and lots of turkey.

We have yet to get CKC approval, however I do wish to proceed. Our last meeting was very productive and many areas were addressed and several members have stepped up to head committees. We still have several important committees that need to have committee heads.

I have already received a couple of judges nominations sheets, as well as a couple of very intriguing ideas for logos and slogans. Keep them coming.

I would like to hold our next meeting on Sunday, Nov. 7th at 1 pm ( I don’t think we have any conformation shows close). Cathie Kraemer has kindly offered to host the meeting. Yes, I know it will be a bit of a drive for many, but we have to try to accommodate everyone. I am trying to move the meetings around so that it is not always the same people doing the big road trips, and to encourage more members to attend.

By this meeting we will have all the judges nomination sheets and will know the top 3 choices for judges. Also, I am hoping that we will have our approval from CKC.

I appreciate the turn out so far for our meetings and the enthusiasm is wonderful, let’s keep it up so that we can host the most memorable National to date.

The address for Cathie is 216 Trillium Dr. Port Elgin (Saugeen Shores for some GPS), phone number 519-389-3825 email katylou@bmts.com

I would appreciate if you could let me know if you will be attending the meeting.
Thanks and hope to see you all at the meeting.

2012 National Slogan and Logo

Hi All
Just wanted to give everyone a little update on our 2012 National meeting held Sept 26th. The turnout was great and several items were discussed and put into play. Several members present agreed to head some of the committees for the 2012 National.

As of yet we do not have CKC approval, but I hope we will get it in the very near future. We are just starting to get things organized. Hosting the 2012 CSSA National will be a monumental task. However, after Sunday's meeting and seeing the enthusiasm of those present, I’m sure Ontario South can pull this off with flying colours.
Even though we are still waiting for CKC approval, we are moving ahead with the assumption that this is just a formality.

I would like everyone to start thinking of a slogan and logo for the National. The slogan for the 98 National held in Toronto was “Yours to Discover”. We need something descriptive and eye catching, that is not only attractive but memorable as well.

I know we have some very talented members in Ontario South so please put those talents to work and send me your suggestions. I would like to have all ideas to me by Nov. 1st, as I am hoping to have another meeting in November. At that time I hope that we will have many slogan and logo ideas to chose from.

Thank you to all who attended on Sunday, your support and willingness to step up and volunteer your time is greatly appreciated.

Sept. 26th meeting - update

As you know we have a 2012 National meeting planned for September 26th. However, I have just been reminded that this is also the Burlington show weekend.

In order to accommodate both the show and the meeting, I was wondering if someone from the Hamilton area would consider hosting the meeting?

If we have the meeting start at 2pm that would give those attending the show plenty of time to show and then come to the meeting as Shelties are on before noon and Group judging is at 12:10.

If you would consider hosting the meeting, please email me ASAP.

Thanks in advance

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
