President’s Message

Hello Everyone!

Can you believe Thanksgiving 2011 has come and gone already? I hope this finds each of you well and ready for an exciting upcoming year. Each of us have so many things going on in our lives, it is refreshing to come together as a club, when we can, and enjoy the friendship of other “dog folks.” For myself, there has always been a wealth of knowledge available, when networking with other club members over the years. Years ago, it was hard to imagine writing the present year with a “2” as the first digit, and now it is almost 2012!! So much has happened in those eleven years, since the year 2000. The world, as we knew it, has changed so very much over those years. But, over those years, we as a Kennel Club, have come together as a team, year after year…accomplishing so many things. Thanks to each of you for your hard work and dedication, you have much to be proud of!

I’m looking forward to our Annual December Meeting/ Christmas Party which will be held on Friday, December 16^th. We always have a great meal and the fellowship of other canine lovers! Our Christmas Present Swap at the party is an incredible fun time enjoyed by everyone. Please email me with your ideas and suggestions, they are always appreciated! I will see you at the Christmas Party, if not before….
