Our musical freestyle team is looking for an awards chair and a raffle chair for the upcoming freestyle shows scheduled for July 24 & 25, then October 30 & 31. We’d love someone who would hang out on the committee long-term, but are happy with even just having someone for a little bit of time.

The awards chair would be in charge of accepting and organizing awards donations, possibly reaching out for awards donations (if you feel adventurous), making award sheets for the judge and score keeper, submitting a list of awards with their donor to our catalog chair, and tracking award recipients for submission to WCFO. We love and encourage creativity, and would love if our awards chair could make award certificates, but this is not a requirement.

The raffle chair does not need to he present for the entire show, but it is a lot of work leading up to the shows and we would love for you to come be a part of our sport. The raffle chair is someone who accepts and organizes our raffle baskets. We would really like someone who is proficient with Excel/Google Spreadsheets, as our raffle will he done electronically. We would love for you to be present at the shows, as well, to accept money and organize the electronic submission of raffles.

Both of these positions can have as much support as you like/need from the trial chairs and the rest of the trial committee.

Please reach out to Ashley Huehn at [email protected] and/or Jessa Kenworthy at [email protected] if interested.

Hello everyone, 
I need a volunteer or two to represent the club at a virtual library presentation.  Here is the description give to me by the library:
Our summer reading club theme this year is “Tails and Tales” so we thought that this sort of program would be a great fit!  We’re interested in a one time virtual (Zoom) program, lasting no more than an hour, where patrons can ask questions about their personal dog concerns, although if it seems popular, there’s certainly the possibility of bringing it back.  Because this would be part of summer reading, we’d like to have it in either June or July.  We’re pretty flexible as to when this would take place.  For best attendance, evenings (probably 6:30-7:30) Mon, Tues, Wed or Thurs or sometime during the day on a Saturday would be good.  There will be a small remuneration for the presenter.

This is a great outreach for the club and some easy volunteer hours. Let me know if you are interested. Email is [email protected]

The upcoming AKC Obedience and Rally trial needs volunteers to help it run smoothly. As always, volunteer opportunities are available on our website by following the link in the bottom tag line of the emails.

We have a membership meeting planned for April 26 at the building at 7:30! Face coverings and social distancing are required. Please bring your own chair.

Do you know someone in the club who has had a pet cross the rainbow bridge? Maybe had a surgery, or a death in their family? The Sunshine Committee has always been willing to send out sympathy cards, but they can’t do their job if no one tells them about it!

There is button in the Members Area where you can send a quick note to the Sunshine Committee Chair.

Please welcome Mary Kemphues as our new Sunshine Committee Chair! She can also be reached at [email protected]
