Reports made:

Judges Selection:  Specialty and Sweeps judges have been chosen for 2007 but because of some contract questions, they have not been asked until clarification.  The board clarified these issues and the full report can be read in the board minutes.

 

Legislative:  The Puppy Lemon Law will be introduced again.  Neena will keep us posted on what we should this.

 

Rescue:  We are full of rescues at this time and really need help from members fostering dogs.  The committee will continue to foster the dogs needing the most time rehabilitating them but we do not want to burn out our foster homes and desperately need help.

 

Membership:  The second readings were read for Lucy Clem, Bruce Coyne, Gerald Kyle and Kristie Sarafolean.  The first reading was done for Karen Neligh.

 

Trophies:  They turned out wonderfully and Marilyn is looking forward to the 2006 pottery!

 

Ways and Means:  The 2005 tee shirts turned out very well.  A photo was put on the website.  There are very few left and Barbara doesn’t anticipate having any trouble selling them.  In fact she hopes to take enough orders to produce another batch.  She decided to hold off on watches and possibly have them for the puppy match.  There were a few computer pads left but again, Barbara doesn’t anticipate any problems selling them.  She plans to announce the remainder of the items on ShowPem-L and Corgi-L.

 

Website:  Please let Nancy Oehlhof know if you would like the following added to your name on the website:  P (for puppies available), S (for stud dog) and A (for adults available)

 

New Business:  Nan Kesterson passed away and asked that donations be made to Cornell Veterinary College.  Neena VanCamp has more information.

 

Marilyn Midkiff received permission for Ohio Valley Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club to hold an independent specialty in 2006.  Evansville will release Pems on Thursday.  Marilyn will determine if that is for 2006 only or permanently if we so desire. 

 

Neena Van Camp brought to the members attention that the Eaton , Ohio shows will have two breeder judges and how important it is to support clubs that chose breeder judges.  The judges are Donna Francis and Dianne Connolly.  The shows are April 30 and May 1.

 

Meeting adjourned at 4:45pm.
