Meeting was
called to order at 3:35 PM by Vice President Kathy Shannon, in the absence of
the President. Unfortunately Lana took the committee report copies with her. 18
members and 7 guests attended the meeting: the roll is attached to the minutes.
All of the
guests were introduced.
Minutes of
the July meeting had previously been sent to the members. The secretary noted
the correction that Kathy Shannon should have been listed as member not a
guest. With that correction motion by Bob Saffell, second by Fred Wynn that
the minutes be approved. Motion carried.
PRESIDENT’S
REPORT Previously
emailed to all members.
In another week we will be gathering for our September
meeting and puppy match. Connie has
worked hard to put together a wonderful day for us and I know Neena has once
more scheduled a very special rescue parade.
I hope as many of you will attend as possible to enjoy the
activities. Bob will once again be
cooking up dogs, marinated in his “special” secret….ahhhhhhhh…..brew. <G>
All systems appear to going along smoothly for our second
independent specialty. Theresa reports
that everyone has been pitching in to cover all the bases. It seems like just yesterday that we had out
first, even though it was 5 months ago (and people are still talking about what
a terrific show it was).
Sue Klaar and Becky Dean have come up with some good ideas
about herding & agility presentations and the club voted to pursue holding
a rally match and rally with the aid of an
Adrienne and her committee will again be discussing the
proposed changes to the by-laws at this meeting. We will again discuss the changes in November
with a vote at the January meeting on the proposals.
Adrienne also reports that she will be presenting the slate
for the election and again, nominations will also be taken from the floor at
the November meeting.
At the last meeting I shared materials for a possible show
site for the PWCCA’s 2009 national. It
looks VERY promising, and I am now putting together a proposal to submit to the
PWCCA board. These are such exciting
times for

JUDGES
SELECTION
Gerald

designed.. He and his committee members Lea Jacobs, Adrienne Saffell and Sally
Wynn are now ready to move forward.
The
committee will administer the judges’ selection process for the annual
specialty & maintain and monitor the specialty judges and preferred judges
list for supported entries.

fanciers who attended those shows will be asked for their opinion as how well
placements were made.
There are

LEGISLATION
Neena gave
members an up date on Louisville Metro Council’s 8th proposed
version of the pet’s law. It includes breed specific bans, limits the number of
dogs residents may have based on size of property; requires all kittens and
puppies to be licensed at birth. There is very high fee to license each intact
animal, as well as a breeders' license fee. Much of the law is unclear as to
whether fanciers who participate in events must pay a $150 Class A kennel
license and a $100 Class B kennel license. And the definition of “nuisance” is
such that complaints can be made for “damaging a flower or a plant” or “any act
of an animal or its owner which irritates or perturbs” another individual.
AKC
encourages all individuals to let the Metro Council know their displeasure with
the current proposal. It is vague and unenforceable. Fanciers are asked to let
the Council know if they have attended the
Motion
by Neena, second by Gerald that OVPWCC write a letter on club stationary
letting the Council know that in 2006 the club itself spent up to $8000 in
Note: This was already done
by the secretary as it was requested to be done at the March meeting*
This law,
if passed, probably would mean the end of the Kentuckianna cluster due to lack
of another location for the March shows.
Each and
every fancier is encouraged to send a personal letter or email too. The names
of Council members, phone numbers & addresses can be found at www.louisville-pets.com or doglaw@akc.org.

RESCUE
Neena
thanked the owners of rescue dogs for participating in today’s parade and
members & fanciers for their support of the rescue raffle. She asked for
volunteers to foster Pems. Currently there are 5 Pems ready for placement. More
are always coming in. The magnetic bumper stickers are still available for
$3.00 each. Already there are some items for the rescue(s) table at the
specialty silent auction. Teresa, Neena & Kathy to talk following the
meeting about Teresa’s ideas.
TROPHIES
Marilyn
indicated that our trophy supplier is enforcing their rule that each purchase
must equal at least $560. The board voted to buy 2 years of trophies at a time
and to prorate the cost between 2007 and 2008. She passed around the specialty
trophy sponsor sign up sheet. Contact her with which class or award you want to
sponsor.

MEANS

Adrienne,
Chair, members Sally Wynn and Gerald Kyle.
Adrienne
indicated that as had been requested in view of recent emailing of the proposed
constitutional changes that they will instead be mailed to all members by US
postal service. .
She said
that AKC says that as long as current by-law procedures are followed if changes
are made the AKC only has to be advised of any changes to our current
Constitution and By-Laws. They put them in the club file, but neither approve
or disapprove them.
Neena asked
why change the annual meeting to March – at the same time the specialty is
held? It was awkward at LPWCC even back
when she was an officer in LPWCC. Further there may no longer be a chance to
hold dog shows in
Why change
meetings from 6 to 4 a year? AKC made OV go from 5 to 6 when first established.
Adrienne indicated that LPWCC is proposing to go to 4 a year. Brenda Stiles,
meeting guest & match judge, stated that AKC refused to let
Neena asked
why weren’t term limits for at least some officers and board included in
proposed changes?

weather is good in meeting area that members in TN may be dealing with icy
