PRESENT:
TREASURY:
Betty Chapman
The club’s
Treasury is healthy, even though we didn’t have a Dog Show in 2020 (due to
COVID-19). Betty asked the Club to consider re-instating our donations and
asked that the club come up with a priority in 2021. We will not be doubling
donations to make up for the 2020 shortfall.
No Motion. No Vote.
GUEST:

GILMAN – Ellen noticed
a new person logging onto the Zoom Meeting. She was welcomed and asked to

she was active in Junior Showmanship. Patty Pace and Ellen Pfann offered to be
her sponsors.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT:
Patty Pace
·
Vendors
if they attend, will need to supply their own 10x10 Tent and will not be under
the big tent. Dick Rumbo has been invited to sell basic show supplies.
·
Premium
was submitted to MBF on February 17, 2021
·
Limit
this year will be 1000 dogs per day. Normally the show attracts 700 per day.
But many shows have been cancelled and there is demand, so the feeling is that
we could likely meet our maximum. Club hasn’t been given an exact “opening”
day. Golden Retriever people and German Pinscher People are having their
specialties on Friday. AKC prohibits the club from giving them priority for
rest of weekend. But we will notify the clubs to make sure they tell their
members to keep their eye on the MBF website.
·
Professional
Stewards are confirmed.
·
Parking
– there will be a pre-pay option. Others will have to have exact change.
·
Nancy
Vargas has agreed to spearhead the raffle.
DOG SHOW REPORT:
Karolynne McAteer
·
No
Vendors with exception of select 10x10 tents out in open.
·
Big
Vendor Tent normally used for vendors will be converted to an additional
Grooming Tent, to account for Social Distancing.
·
Porta
Potties confirmed
·
Fire
Extinguishers confirmed
·
Will
not need the normal 8 tables or 100 chairs --- because spectators will not be
invited to sit (due to COVID).
·
No
Demo’s, no CGC.
·
Since
we don’t know whether spectators will be allowed due to COVID regulations, we
won’t be advertising or putting anything into Calendars. We may consider
Facebook Paid advertising within 3 weeks (Ellen).
·
TROPHIES: limited to Groups and Best in
Show --- we got donations for these last year – and since the 2020 show was
cancelled, those donations will be carried over to this year.
