JUDGES
SELECTION
Gerald
Kyle: no report
LEGISLATIVE
REPORT
Neena Van
Camp: The Ohio “puppy mill bill”, really
a breeder limiting bill is not currently scheduled for hearings. The Louisville Metro Council bill continues
to get worse and worse each time it is reworked to the point that some say many
on the commission will not vote for it as it has too many breed specific
clauses as well as those that are obviously unconstitutional in
The AKC has
endorsed S.3889, the “Animal Enterprise Protection Act” (AEPA). The bill was introduced by Sen. James Inhofe
(R-OK) and principal co-sponsor Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) in early September,
and passed the Senate by unanimous consent on September 30, 2006 just before
the election recess. It is expected to
be taken up by the House of Representatives early in the post election “lame
duck” session. The AKC is asking all
fanciers to contact their U.S. Representative to urge them to support the
AETA. To read more about this bill,
please visit AKC’s website.
MEMBERSHIP
REPORT
Pam Hudson
for Becky Dean: The second readings were
done for Judy Trenn and Kim Smith. The first readings were done for Robert Geer
and Pat and Joann Giesting.
OVATION
Nancy Oehlhof: The OVation is going to be late as I did not receive all the
articles and such for it in time to have it to the printers before I left for
the national. I was hoping to complete
it while I was on the road but still had not received some information by the
time I was arriving home.
We really
need to start paying attention to the “deadline”. If you have volunteered to do columns it is
really important that you come through. Afterall, this is the OV NEWSLETTER and not just a Corgi
magazine. Without the personal touches
that come from members’ articles it becomes something that just anyone could
put out. We are spending the clubs money
for a really nice publication, please let’s support it. As editor, I am willing to compile
everything, design ads and get it to the printers. I need your help to make it special and to
get it out on time by getting information to me promptly. Believe me I understand how hard that can be
and I do allow quite a bit of leeway.
I would
like to have a column that actually reports club news and activities. PLEASE can I have a volunteer for a “roving
reporter” . This person would supply me with information on any club business
that should be reported and report things that members might be doing or have
done that is club or showing related.
PWCCA
REPRESENTATIVE
Lana
attended the PWCCA board meeting on behalf of the club and at Sally’s request
turned over the information to her.
There was no report available.
PERFORMANCE
ACTIVITES REPORT
Susan Klar: Wild Weavers
has not decided whether to do any more agility trials at this time. Sue would like input from club members about
whether they would be interested in an agility workshop with Jennifer Crank, a
member of the US World Team this year, who won a silver medal in
Switzerland. The workshop costs have not
been determined until the membership advises Sue on whether or not they would
attend.
RESCUE
Neena Van
Camp:
Rescue has a lot of Pems looking for foster homes - more
than the non-members and the few committee members can cover. PLEASE CAN
ANYBODY TAKE IN ONE OR 2 OWNER SURRENDER DOGS THAT APPEAR TO BE EASY
ADOPTIONS. They will need vet work ups and your evaluation of them but
will do everything possible to have them out to new homes by the holiday.
Recently adopted out have been Aribelle, Billings (Red
now aka Tyler), Chip,Gailey, Chole, Skip, and Winston.
I am checking applications for Dixie, Foxy, Gryffin, Kramer,
Leonardo, Princess, Sable, Stubby, Sweetheart, Todd and Zane. All of them have
had their foster homes (most of them non members) indicate they are ready to be
placed in permanent homes.
Rescue is just taking in Barney, a young female
in Louisville KY area, maybe Campbell from IN, and
maybe Mulligan also from near Prospect KY.
As you should be able to tell rescue can use your help in
fostering Pembrokes.
