PRESIDENTS MESSAGE This next meeting will be a very exciting. It will be on September 19th. The Dancing with your Dog Nationals will be held in November. Several people from our area will be participating. We will have a demonstration at our meeting, so they can practice their routines. I hope you can attend the meeting and stay for the entertainment. I have noticed many requests for instructors in agility levels 1, 2 and 3, pet manners and also puppy kindergarten. We have many experienced teachers who are willing to help train you if you have never taught classes, Volunteer to help an existing class and soon you will be up and running ready to teach. Another way to help the club is to join a committee. We have many committees needed helpers. There is Membership, events, Public Relations just to name a few. There are others, just ask. It helps the club and you will meet new people. ~ Sandi McKenzie MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS Tuesday, September 19 Tuesday, November 21 (Elections) Tuesday, January 16 UPCOMING EVENTS September 1-3: CPE Trial September 8: Dr. Leick September 9: UpDog Challenge Sept. 29-Oct. 1 CPE Trial October 6: Dr. Leick October 6-8: Barn Hunt Trials October 27-29: CPE Trial November 3: Dr. Leick November 18: UpDog Challenge December 1-3 CPE Trial December 9-10: CCKC AKC Trial December 16-17 CPE Trial Dec. 29-Jan 1: CPE Trial
