Nominating Committee
A nominating committee for officers and board members was
selected at the last Board meeting. This
committee is as follows:
Cheryl Heath, Chairperson
Jean Fordyce
Gail Sheets
Judy Nolan, Alternate
A report from this committee will be presented at the meeting in August. Additional nominations may be made at the November meeting and voting will be conducted at the annual meeting in January. For any additional clarification, please see the Ohio Valley Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club Constitution, Article IV.
A letter was received from PWCCA Co-chair, Stephanie
Hedgepath asking for our club help in sponsor ringside hospitality at this
year’s national in
A motion was made by
The Board of Directors is proposing that an amendment to
the Constitution and by-laws be made concerning the number of meetings of the
Club be reduced from six meeting per year to four meeting per year. This would apply to the Board meeting as well
as the regular club membership meeting.
Since this will be a change to the Constitution, Article II, we will be
following the guidelines covered in Article VII of the Constitution. Please read over this for your
information. Further discussion will be
held at the August meeting.
Unfinished Business:
2005 Specialty - -
Joann Ruehl
AKC
has sent acknowledgement of receipt of our specialty application, however they
can't approve it until Evansville KC sends in theirs. Specialty logo has been
submitted to membership and all approve. Flyers are available to members who
are going to shows for handing out. An ad has also been sent to the PWCCA
newsletter for the Fall issue of the NL and one will be sent in December for Winter NL which usually
gets to members in January: Thus, reminding people of our March show.
Would like permission to place an ad in National's catalog in
November. (It was decided that this did not need to be a motion and
Joann was told to go ahead with the ad.)
Joann’s
committee people are carrying the ball for their particular area of the
specialty. Both Carra Cole and Robin Stewart are
accepting silent auction items from now until the specialty.
Barbara
Fisher has decided to do a wine and cheese/fruit/crackers pm hospitality. She would like cash
donations for this purpose rather than assorted snack items. No amount is too
small.
New Trophies
Those attending the meeting were given the opportunity to look at the two types of pottery selected as options for an on-going and special type trophy for our annual specialty. It is hoped that we can establish a tradition that will become a year to year collectable for all those attending our specialty.
While it was clear that both of the pottery selected for trophies could be wonderful and that we are very lucky to have this pottery to select from, as the conservation and discussion continued, the Bybee pottery became a favorite of the membership attending today’s meeting. The general consensus was that because over the course of several years different selections could be made but the type and compatibility of the pottery would be more suitable for our needs.
Because this is a very important decision, it was decided to delay the
selection of our trophy pottery until the meeting in August to give more of our
members time to view the pottery and think about what
would be best for our club. You are
encouraged to view a picture of the pottery on our web page to assist you in
making this decision.
Bob Saffell pointed out that the Ohio Valley Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club Abstract of Minutes and Index has been given to all officers and board members. For anyone in the membership wishing to look at a copy of this, please ask one of the officers or board members to see their copy or ask to see a copy at any meeting. It is too labor intensive and expensive to have these for all members as updates occur after each meeting.
