I just received a text from Houser that they will be starting on the concrete entryway at the club as soon as tomorrow, assuming no rain. They will be working on one side this week and the other side next week. We should have access to the lot at all times, one car at a time. Please be patient if they are working on it when you arrive and afterwards, no driving on the new concrete until the barriers are removed.
this is the link to the gem city merch – shirts, jackets, etc. I thought fall would be a good time to offer this again. Thanks!!

All-
The parking lot was repaved straight from the entrance up the hill to the rear of the building last Saturday. I have removed the restrictions about driving and parking on the new surface as it should be cooled and “cured” enough to withstand regular traffic.
I would prefer that we not have the trash dumpster emptied (It is only about half full) until next Thursday 7/21 or later to reduce the chances of the heavy truck possibly rutting the asphalt.However, today when I was down there, I went to remove the very large orange cone which was left on the water drain up near the middle of the lot and discovered that the cone was covering the fact that the paving company’s equipment had broken out 4 of the 7 bars (you know the ones that keep you from falling into the sewer) and had not bothered to tell us. So I have blocked off 3 parking spaces and a large area around the hole with tape and barrels and old ring gates. Houser will be replacing it.
If you are parking on the new asphalt for the next week, please be mindful that turning the tires with the vehicle stopped will cause the tires to twist on the new asphalt and could damage it. Please just make sure that the vehicle is moving at least slowly when maneuvering.Additional cleaning of the old asphalt and repainting the parking lines as well as new concrete parking blocks will be done in the near future.

The agility equipment is put away and obedience/rally or freestyle can practice on it til they set up for WCRL this weekend
Thank you

Do you have something awesome to donate? Are you wanting to help but are uncertain what types of things can be used? Please contact me!! I’m happy to help give you ideas, or let you know if that strange doggie coffee mug your mother-in-law gave you can be useful, or if that gift card that someone gave you could be an awesome raffle item!
Thank you,

The contractor has moved up our date for paving! Work will start tomorrow! The parking lot will be completely off limits to cars until Monday. When it reopens, we will not be able to park on it for at least 5 days. There will be parking available at the top of the lot and in front where paving hasn’t been done. This will be for everyone! You won’t want your car to sink or your dog walking on it.
Workers will be at the building at 8 am tomorrow! In order to keep all dogs and people safe the building will be closed while they are working. I don’t know when their work day ends, Im guessing around 4 or 5. Assume they will be working the same times on Friday. Paving starts Monday and it will need a couple of days to cure ( no cars allowed on it) We will keep you updated as the project progresses. Please be kind to the workers and thank you for your understanding!
