Coyotes At The Land

Posted on by Angela Profitt

Please remember that there are coyotes along with other wildlife out at the land. Always try to go with other members. The more people are there, the less likely they will come around. Always use caution and check your surroundings before allowing your dogs to run the whole area. Unfortunately, the best ways to trap them are going to be very appealing to our dogs too.

Volunteer hours – Sat 7/29/23

Posted on by Christine Kiefer

All:

Do you need VOLUNTEER hours???It’s time to get some general work done at the club that just about anyone can do, so come one, come all…… No, that’s too many, how about 4 or 5 people this coming Saturday from 8:30 to 10:30 to do a few jobs around the outside of the building.I know it will be getting hot so we will only be out there for 2 hours.

Water will be available.

These hours count towards your membership volunteer hours so we will need to sign in and out. Bring sunscreen, gloves and hats.

Things like: digging hole to put up a new dog poop station. Yes this requires digging a hole and setting the post in concrete. Tools would be shovels and wheelbarrow(s).collect some of the stones and other debris in the grass and the parking lot, Tools would be some buckets and gloveshelp connect some new extensions to the downspouts to the drain tiles. Cutting and fitting and attaching things so a hack saw, box knife and drill-driver to put in screws.

Please let me know if you will be there and what you can help with.John Clifford

Building Closed – Parking lot work July 18, 2023

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

All

I just got confirmation that this Tuesday. July 18th, the Northcut building needs to be closed  while the contractor seals the new parking lot which was paved last summer.  We will not be able to park on the new seal coat until Friday July 21st.  I will post signs for our neighbors to have their cars moved and will tape off the entrance.

The building can be used on Wednesday and Thursday, but people need to park in the street and walk up .

Sorry for the late notice.

Thanks

John Clifford

Volunteers Needed!

Posted on by Angela Profitt

We are still looking for some volunteers to help with the Crossroads UKC Conformation Shows and Rally Trials this weekend!

You may be asking yourself why we are looking for volunteers for another club’s event. When Crossroads rents our building, they also rent our members! You will get hours towards your required Gem City hours for membership!

Why should you help? Firstly, it’s fun! You get to see all types of beautiful and uncommon breeds! Did you know that we had a Bedlington Terrier at our November shows? Such a cool breed to see in person! Secondly, this is a big show! Having these big shows helps Crossroads be able to hold the smaller shows that you enjoy!

Do you need to know anything about conformation? Nope! The judges will give you instructions on exactly what they need you to do. Or you can be in charge of helping us set up lunch or other duties around the building that day.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Angela at [email protected]. Thank you!
