Minutes of the February meeting were approved.
Treasurer, Betty Chapman, presented the treasurer’s report,
with explanations of where we are today.
Betty reported that Charitable donations had been
accomplished, with the exception of the police dogs for Pinehurst and Southern
Pines. Karolynne McAteer has visited
both police stations to have discussions with the Canine handlers and about their
needs. Karolynne further commented that
Moore County Sherriff Department has added a canine officer to their
ranks. She will reach out to see if they
have specific canine needs.
Jane reported that there is no updated Agility report at
this meeting.
Jane further reported on the need to involve juniors, and
the AKC’s reminder regarding a Juniors Liaison at the club. There will be further discussion in April on
this subject.
See the description of the JUNIORS COORDINATOR from an earlier Barker.
Patty Pace made a report on where events at the May dog show
were, in their process, and what committees for the show needed additional
members. Happily the parking committee
is now completed.
Bill Pace reported on the needs of the site, and the days in
which tents would be erected and then inspected. Bill is looking for assistance during set up
days, so at the April meeting we will finalize the needs of that committee.
Karolynne reported further on the show itself, and reminded
us that this is a club event, and there are
still committees that need help.
(eg selling catalogues) Again,
this will be finalized at April meeting.
Karolynne and Patty reiterated the need for a judging
schedule to be posted on our website, and Ellen reminded us that we need it
early enough to make copies for the Springfest in Southern Pines on April 30
(one week before our show.
Ellen went over the Southern Pines Springfest schedule,
from set up, through all presentations to the public, and by the time the call
had ended, the slots were almost completely filled..
We could still have more help for the booth (so people have an opportunity to see a lot of different dogs), as well as set up and breakdown.
In closing, members discussed the issues in Ukraine for
people and their pets, and the need to help.
MCKC voted to support the efforts via the AKC researched humanitarian
efforts; there is a copy of the press release in Barker, with a link to
donate.
