New Spinning Rack

Hello all,

You May have noticed that we have been given a spinning rack for trial premiums and  dog related activities. Please do not place anything non dog related in the rack.  It will be removed!

Also, please place dog related brochures ON the rack, not on the table, counter, or cluttering other areas.

Thank you!

Remembering Margaret Davidson

Margaret Davidson was a lifetime member and one of the founders of Gem City Dog Obedience Club in 1967.

DAVIDSON (Sauer), Margaret A. Age 90, of Clayton passed away on Wednesday, September 5, 2018. Margaret was born on December 29, 1927 to the late John and Blanche Sauer. She was a 1945 graduate of Trotwood-Madison High School. Margaret was a popular Dog Obedience Trial Judge, a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor for her service in the Ohio Civil Air Patrol. Margaret is survived by two daughters: Janet (Tom) Jones of Union and Carolyn Davidson of Paradise, California; three grandsons: David and Daniel Jones of Union and Joshua Siegel of Paradise, California; one granddaughter: Deanna Jones of Clayton; and two great-grandsons Ethan and Austin Jones of Clayton. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Fred Davidson, two daughters Laura and Denise Davidson, and four brothers John, Richard, Robert, and Donald Sauer. Private graveside services will be held at Bear Creek Cemetery in Trotwood. The Kindred Funeral Home in Englewood is assisting the family. Online condolences may be sent to  www.kindredfuneralhome.com

 

Rally Signs missing!

Rally signs have not been returned. They have been stolen by a member. I will have to replace them. Curt will check the tape to pinpoint the theft. More than a dozen signs have been taken. I will be locking them up. This is very disappointing that a member has stolen club property and disrupted classes.

Check/Update your Profile!

It’s that time of year! The volunteer hours are all in, the database has all been updated and added to the website. I’m certain I’ve done at least one thing wrong, probably more. I’d strongly recommend that you log in and check your information in the shiny new directory. You can also now add a photo for the new directory.  Follow the bright blue arrows in the graphic to help you figure out how to do these things!

The Women’s Room floor – Our apologies

We’re hoping that the “Men’s Room” can be shared for a while with the procedure: Crack the door open and call out…before going in. (After all, on Springfield Street we shared.)

(Explanation: We often fix and build floors in our apartments. 90% of the time we work with ceramic or hardwood floors; but sometimes with vinyl – so we thought it would be easy. We bought a leveling compound that is supposed to dry quickly – but it turns out to be too deep in some places and dries slowly. If someone stepped in it, everything would be ruined. When we do finally lay the tiles, the adhesive will need time to dry and the whole area of new tiles will need to be left alone. Really sorry.)
