Board Meeting

August 28, 2004

Horse Park - - Lexington KY

The Ohio Valley Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club’s Board Meeting was held on August 28, 2004 at the Horse Park, Lexington, KY. The meeting was called to order by the President, Lana Jorgensen, at 10:15 A.M. Those present were: Lana Jorgensen, Nancy Oehlhof, Bob Saffell, Pat Miller and Cheryl Heath.

Report of the President - - Lana Jorgensen

Summer’s coming to a close and I expect our thoughts are now straying to fall specialties and the upcoming National specialty in Biloxi. Be sure that the OV members are planning on doing something at the National to once again spread cheer and good will among those attending. One thing that has been discussed is having some of our lady members going through the crowd wearing their finest “Derby” bonnets, wearing their “Ohio Valley PWCC Cosmo Queen” sashes and distributing bourbon balls again. They were a HUGE hit last year and I think it’s a boon if we can keep everyone thinking about Ohio Valley.

We have several new members on the horizon. This growth is what keeps Ohio Valley thriving. We need to reach out as much as possible and include people. Everyone has something they can bring to a club, even if it’s just a pair of willing hands to help. It is impossible to educate someone if you exclude them.

Progress continues for the 2005 specialty and Joann has graciously accepted the position of show chair for the all-important 2006 show. Thank you so much for all you do, Joann! At this meeting we will be deciding on the pottery for the show. I hope everyone can make it to let their choice be known.

This meeting we also will be discussing the possibility of going to 4 meetings a year instead of 6. This is a topic we will be bringing before the membership again in November, so everyone can voice their thoughts on this move.
