Next Meeting 7:00 PM February 11, 2018
“Guest Speaker”??????
President’s Message,
Our Agility Trial ended up being a success but not without a few
glitches. We had very few workers besides the agility committee
members this year and it was especially bad on Friday. Thanks to
the help of the Stetson cheerleaders Saturday and Sunday ran
smooth. Agility Trials take a lot of preparation and a lot of
workers to make it run efficiently.
I do want to thank the members that did show up and helped
during the trial especially those that stayed Sunday afternoon to
help tear down and put away the equipment, your help was Greatly
Appreciated!!
There seems to be a theme…We are always shorthanded at our
Trials. We have somewhere close to 200 members in Our Club and
surely more can come help at our Events, whether it’s Obedience,
Agility, Tracking, Scent Work or Dance. Our Club depends on
volunteers. Please show your support for YOUR club and come out and
help.
