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.
