Examples looking for:

I made a mistake in updating last year’s banquet ticket prices and failed to change the “Mailing a check” prices. I am so sorry to all of you who were confused on how to place your RSVP! The problem has now been fixed. Please CLOSE your web browser, and RELOAD the order page! You should see the new credit pricing!

The 2023 Awards Banquet tickets are now on sale.

The 2023 Awards Banquet tickets are now on sale. This year we are offering boxed meals from Little Miami Catering!

There are tons of food choices, sandwiches and croissants, salads and wraps, and there should be something for everyone! You can even choose side dishes and meats!
We know that not everyone feels comfortable with food choices like these, so again this year we are offering a “Non meal” option. We will still be supplying drinks and desserts for everyone, so the non-meal choice still has a cost associated, but we are hopeful that we will all have a wonderful time at our own comfort levels!

As we did in previous years, again this year we are offering a Paypal payment option, or a mail-in check option. BOTH must be done through the website! This is your chance to RSVP!

To all the GCDOC members in this group! Last week I put your service vouchers in an accordion file in the Obedience cabinet. The file is next to the trays for the board and It is a light blue. The vouchers are alphabetized by your last name. 

For board members, you have 5 Blue Ribbon vouchers (1 per session) in small sandwich bags in my Membership tray. 

Cleaning committee, Land and turf maintenance also have Blue Ribbon and service vouchers in another large sandwich bag.

All service vouchers and Blue Ribbon vouchers have your last name on the back of the voucher.

Please pick up your vouchers as soon as possible.

ALL GCDOC members:

Reminder to all obedience instructors and assistants. There is an obedience meeting on Thursday at 630. The purpose of this seminar is to summarize and review teaching points to develop more congruence between the various teaching pairs. As well as develop a system to promote new instructors and bring them on board as they become ready. 

There will be light dinner provided. 

Hope to see many of you Thursday
