Reports
of Committees
Versatility Committee: It was voted to leave the interpretation of
Rally and Obedience as they have been….that Rally and Obedience are
to be counted as one type of event in the tallying of versatility
areas. (A rally title and obedience title are both accepted, but
they count as “obedience” titles.)
Unfinished Business
Online Advertising Guidelines were approved by the Board and have
been announced on the members list. They will be included in a mass
email as well as included in the Barker.
The
Board approved the CSPCA New Member’s Handbook. After a few typo
corrections, it should be ready for use! The Board appreciates the
great job the committee and its volunteers did on this project.
Ramp: The Board approved the Shar-Pei becoming a ramp optional
breed with AKC. (Judges do not have to use a ramp, but they can use
a ramp if they chose to.) The Board appreciated the input and trial
runs that occurred at nationals.
New Business
The
Board voted to have the President draft a letter to AKC concerning
the judging procedure of stud dog class at nationals.
The
Board did not object to the President’s request that the Historian
and the Top Dog Committee Chair positions be opened up for
volunteers.
President’s Report
As
this was my last board meeting, I wanted to take time to thank the
Board for all their help and for making whatever time they spent on
the board memorable and interesting for me. I thanked the Board
members who are leaving at the end of December for their service:
Mike Lauer, Deb Cooper, JoAnn Redditt and Bob Rosenberger. I
welcomed the oncoming board members who were in attendance at the
meeting: Georgette Schaeffer, Pat Pramuk and Roy Anderson. I look
forward to serving as Immediate Past President per our By-Laws and
to enjoying the role of just a worker bee for this club once again.
