GCDOC AWARDS NIGHTI

nfo will follow after first of the year regarding pictures and RSVP..

Please note this years theme is: Canine Cabaret

We are going to try something different this year, since so many people bring their own food to share with their tables, we would like to make this night more about getting to know members, mingling. So it won’t be a dinner, but meat/cheese trays; veggie & fruit trays, cheeseballs/crackers and assorted desserts.

**Please note that if you want a Title Bar, you will need to go to the GCDOC website, under members part and fill in your titles for 2024 year. That is the only way to get a bar. A note will come out soon as the deadline for 2024 titles, please go now and get your titles entered for the 2024 year.

Thanks!

Happy Holidays!!It’s that time year again Gem City Dog Club will be providing a little Christmas cheer for the Eastway Boys Group Home next to Gem City’s Dog Club Building on Northcutt. Each year we provide about 25 Games & Puzzles, so each boy has a gift to open. We also try to provide 1 or 2 large gifts that all the boys can enjoy throughout the year. We will be accepting donations made out to Gem City Dog Obedience Club. Last year we were able to purchase a Tablet & Xbox Gaming System with 2 Controllers and a gift card to purchase additional games. Below are Pictures of the tablet, xbox and some of the puzzles and games that were delivered to the boys for Christmas.

Please contact Terri Hendrix at [email protected] with your donation amount so we know what to budget for this year. I will be trialing at Queen City this weekend and Gem City the following weekend.

Thank you.

Terri
