MEMBER BETH DOWD PASSES AWAY - Memorial Information

 

  

It is with a very heavy heart that our club remembers Beth Dowd of Pinehurst, who passed away on Wednesday, October 20, 2021. Beth was an integral Member of Moore County Kennel Club. She served as a Board Member and long-time Treasurer over many years, where her logic and warmth were legendary. She was often the first to welcome a new member. And she was always there to listen or help, whether or not an issue had to do with dogs.

Beth had a bookkeeping and tax company, specializing in elder care. They depended on her as caretaker, friend and family. She had a way with them. 

In the dog world she was known as owner of Best In Show dogs that included Stump the Sussex Spaniel, the 2009 Westminster Winner (the oldest winner in Westminster history at 10). Stump was one of more than almost 200 very successful dogs of various breeds that Beth owned.  This included many Best In Show and Best In Specialty Show Pembroke Welsh Corgi's - including "Sammy Sosa."

In the Equestrian World, Beth was a foxhunter with the Moore County Hounds.  She was a founding member of the Weymouth Bassets a private pack of hounds that hunted over the countryside of Moore and Hoke Counties for 20 years.

 A natural mentor, she was very active in the US Pony Clubs, earning the title of National Activities Legend from the USPC.

Beth is survived by her daughter (and club member) Carol Dowd Kamalbake and Rahmean Kamalbake. 

Please feel free to send wishes to Carol and Rahmean - or share memories with the rest of us in the comment section.

There will be a Celebration of Beth's Life:

Weymouth Center

November 13 2021 at 12:30 pm 

We will be raising a glass to Beth.

Dress in furs and hats.

APPLICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP

At the September 22 Board Meeting, the MCKC Board of Directors agreed by Consent Agenda to "fast track" Members that have been waiting for approvals during the past few months - when the club has not been meeting due to concerns over COVID-19.

The Traditional Approval Process is:

1. Membership Chair receives the Application and Dues.
2. Membership Chair presents Application to the BOD.
3. Board approves application (or not).
4. First Reading During General Membership Meeting.
5. Application for Membership is brought up for a vote at the following General Meeting (2nd presentation). 75% of the members present must approve in order to elect the applicant. 

The Fast Track Version will look like this:

1. The Membership Chair has received Applications.
2. These applicants are at different stages in the traditional approval process.
3. The Board Reviewed the Applications
4. Each of the Applicants is listed below. 
5. Each Member should review each of these Prospects and provide any relevant feedback to Membership Chair, Marjorie Riddle Watson. (link to her email in name)
6. These Prospects will be read at the NEXT GENERAL MEETING, and a vote will be taken - which will occur October 19 or 21 at the Porch at Rudino's -- more information to come.

On 5/26/2021, the Board voted: 

If a former MCKC member wishes to re-join, they are to submit an application and dues which will be reviewed by the Board.  Following approval by the Board, the application will be read at the next general meeting and a vote will be taken.  (This will skip one reading of the application).

POSTPONEMENT OF SOCIAL GATHERING AUGUST 11th.

. . . Just when we all thought we could go back to business (or in our case, fun) as usual. . . WHAM. Out of an abundance of caution, the August 11th Social at Betty's House is postponed, due to concerns about the Delta Variant of COVID 19. 

We are all disappointed, but when we weigh the risks of an indoor gathering, the decision was made.

It is summer, and unfortunately outdoor get-togethers are difficult. But check out the post on Walking Club! It is a much safer way for like-minded dog people to get together. And you can bring your dogs too!

Brielle says:
"COVID-19 GIVES ME A HEADACHE"

MCKC WALKING CLUB

 Let's dust off those sneakers and get ourselves and our dogs moving. 

The Delta Variant won't stop us from safe activity outside.

Since we are in the Dog Days of Summer, let's get together at 7 AM? We can do about 1 mile at Rassie Wicker Park (a lot of which is shaded)!

Who's with me?

Let me know which of these dates work for you. And the most votes will be our date - to be announced:

Sunday, August 15 at 7 AM
Tuesday, August 17 at 7 AM
Saturday, August 21 at 7 AM

"DIXIE" LOVING LIFE WITH NAOMI JOHNSON

 "I kept my last foster dog, a 4-year-old Tree Walker Hound named Dixie, whom I've had since January.  She passed her Canine Good Citizen's Test a month and has just started agility classes.  She loves it and is doing great." - Naomi

👏🐶💕

WELL DONE NAOMI AND DIXIE

"GENIE" ROCKS RETIREMENT

 JEFFERIE CADE REPORTS:

My German Pinscher bitch Genie (GCH CH Windamir’s Imogene v. Amberlane) came out of retirement in May to celebrate the German Pinscher Club of America’s postponed  2020 National Specialty held within Moore County’s all-breed shows.

For practice, we went to Lumberton the 1^st weekend in May for the Myrtle Beach KC shows. Genie was awarded back to back Best of Breeds. Genie was awarded best veteran in sweepstakes and Best Opposite Sex at the German Pinscher National Specialty the second weekend in May held within the MCKCNC show weekend. She also received the nod for Select Bitch the next day at the German Pinscher Regional Specialty held within the MCKCNC weekend. Not too shabby for an old gal nearly eight years old who has given birth to two litters!
