A huge thank-you to those of you who came out and volunteered your time for the work bee in preparation for the GCM show. A thank you also goes out to Mary-lynn Zirnhelt for providing a hot lunch to keep everyone going all day. Good luck to our BC girls Sandi Robinson and Barb Eccott who are showing in Fort Worth TX, at the Super Stakes next week! I am saddened to announce that on February 10 th, the BCCHA lost long time friend and member Mark Littke. Mark was a huge supporter of the BCCHA for many years; he was awarded the Dave Whitall memorial award and was also a lifetime member. He will truly be missed, and our deepest sympathies go out to Mark s family 5
