The meeting was called to order by President, Patty Pace, at 6.03PM
In attendance were:
Patty Pace, Bill Pace, Betty Chapman, Beth Verner, Lynn Cox, Sandy Fisher, David Kirkland, Stephen Roman, Karolynne McAteer, Mary Wood, Ellen Pfann, Mari-Beth O’Neil, Kathy Scheideman, Ursula Walsh, Carol Dowd Kamalbake
AGILITY:
An agility
report was presented by Sandy Fisher with comments by Ursula Walsh.
· The Agility trial in August at Teamworks
(outdoor undercover facility in Wake Forest) had a profit of about $2,000
·
the October Trial had a profit of $4,673.
·
This was
great news, and terrific that our Agility members ran such a safe and
successful event. BRAVO.
·
The January Agility trial is cancelled, as it is
normally too cold for an outdoor trial.
·
The June event is 4 days, and it is anticipated
that it will take place at Bon Clyde.
The date for June will be confirmed to us, so we can publish this in THE
BARKER.
ALL-BREED CONFORMATION SHOWS:
The May show
was discussed, all paperwork is into AKC.
·
Regrettably, Bob Slay will be unable to accept
his assignment, and the two days of judges have been re-worked.
·
The May show will follow all best AKC Practices
for safety. We anticipate a large entry
as everyone is eager to be out and at shows, particularly when they are
outdoors.
·
The Goldens will have specialty and supported
entries over the course of the three days (Friday specialty) and
·
the German Pinchers will hold their National on
Saturday and a supported entry on the Sunday.
·
We will NOT have additional events this year, like
a match show, or CGC testing etc.
·
To date we have not made the decision regarding
spectators, so we are uncertain of the ability to make money on parking.
· We also will need to decide on food, and how best to handle feeding our exhibitors and judges etc. We will wait until February to make that decision, and then hope that all else holds itself in place. We will need help!! Please volunteer to assist in the myriad jobs that will need to be covered. Karolynne McAteer is once again the show chair.
TREASURY POSITION:
Mary Wood is
retiring as Treasurer.
·
Betty Chapman has kindly stepped in to take on
the role for 2021.
· Our thanks to Mary for all her work as treasurer, particularly in 2020 when it was difficult to move ahead with no meetings. THANKS MARY. We want to hear more about the new house!!
MEMBERSHIP:
·
New Members were discussed, there are 5
membership applications that need to be read and approved by the board. We will handle this in January via special
board phone call to just discuss and approve.
· Time to renew memberships! Renewals are going out.
The meeting was
adjourned at 6.37, but many stayed on to continue social conversation.
