Hope to see you all there!!! INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Cover 1 Please take a look at the Trial schedule on page 7 of this newsletter. We desperately need chairpersons for every trial. If you are able to chair a trial, please contact Jamie Brooks mail@jamiebrooks.com. Don t worry if you have yet to chair a trial, there will be plenty of people to help you with any questions that may arise. Without a chairperson, each and every trial is in jeopardy.

2 Letter from the President AZPDC President Wendy McNabb The long awaited newsletter is here. I will try my best to get one to you monthly again. This past year has been one of many changes for me, not allowing me as much free time as I used to have. The content this month may be short, but all is very important to the club success. Please read it carefully and get involved. AZPDC has a training day coming up March 7th with a youth hunt on March 8th. The AZPDC Banquet is March 28th and then begins our trial season. The trial schedule is also in this newsletter and we need chairpersons for some of them still. This past year the trial season was a huge success, lots and lots of new and returning members. A big thank you goes out to Marty Elliott, Jamie Brooks and Russ and Lesa Page. They were a huge part of the success. They started a new tradition of lunches at Saturday events, made a comeback of the Pot Luck on Saturday nights and if not mistaken Lesa was the Marshall at all of the trials. A sincere thank you from me to you!!! Every month I will send out prior notification to the membership requesting any info you would like in the newsletter. If you have any information, ads or brags that you would like to see in next months newsletter, please send to wendy8625@aol.com
