Nothing to report at this time    

 

Breeder Referral:  Chair:  Kathy Shannon

Let Kathy know if you have or are expecting puppies.  Kathy asked the membership for suggestions for what to tell people about websites offering puppies for far less than what most reputable breeders sell their puppies for.

The board upheld their decision that it is an honor to judge sweepstakes and no travel stipend would be given.  

           

Legislative:  Chair:  Neena VanCamp

Neena has been updating members as issues come along via Pam who sends them on to folks.  Will verbalize the current up to minute info as I have it at general meeting.

Nothing to report at this time

 

Membership:  Chair: Judy Nolan, members Becky Dean, Neena Van Camp

First reading for Bill Law.  Sponsors are Lea Jacobs and Bob Saffell.

 

OVation:  Chairs:  Nancy Oehlhof, Mike Oehlhof

I hope you are all pleased with the latest issue.  I am very excited about it, as it is the first one where almost all of the articles came from club members or other corgi folks and not from my scouring the internet!  Thank you everyone who helped!!  You all are getting more involved with every issue!  I have another area I would like a volunteer to help with.  I’d like to bring back a section on brags and perhaps some local show news...any takers?

Neena and Gail are going to be working on the club history and we are going to feature articles on that in each issue this year.

 

 

 

 

 

PWCCA Rep:  Chair:  Sally Wynn

No report given

 

Rescue:  Chairs:  Neena VanCamp and Kathy Shannon, members Sandy Combs, Jean and Chester Fordyce, Lisa McKay, Carol Stein, Robin Stewart

There are 7 corgis in rescue with more expected.  More foster homes are needed.

 

Trophies:  Chair: Marilyn Midkiff

No report given.

 

Ways and Means:  Chair:  Barbara Fisher, members Teresa Fishback, Nancy Oehlhof, JoAnn Ruehl

There are some shirts available and note cards.  It is difficult selling items during the specialty itself due to most people being busy grooming and/or showing and not shopping during the event.

 

Web page:  Chair:  Nancy Oehlhof

The website has a whole new look.  I hope you all like it.  There is a new feature, a counter.  If you click on it, it will take you to an information page where you can see how many hits we are getting in a period of time and where they are from and how people got to the site.

 

 

Sunshine:   Chair:  JoAnn Ruehl

No report given.

 

The next meeting will be May 28, 2006 at Harbin Park, Fairfield, Ohio.  This is to be a picnic fun day.  I am sure that Carra Cole, activities chair, will be making the decision on what to bring and Lana will provide me with a map and I will send it out with the meeting notice.

 

 

Brags were made and the meeting adjourned at 2:50pm.
