Our last scheduled FitDog hike for the year is coming up this

Sunday, October 3, 2021,

at the Fifty Springs Group Campground entrance of Caesar’s Creek located at OH-73, Waynesville, OH 45068.

Our hike starts at 3:00pm, and we have various trail options for varying levels of difficulty.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Ashley, at huehn.erica@aol.com. Assuming our weather holds, we will explore options for FitDog hikes in November, as well.

Please remember that there will be no classes next week, Oct 4- 8, unless otherwise noted by your instructors! We will have the Basset Hound National agility trial taking place during the week and there will be a 3 day AKC trial over the weekend following!

There will be an emergency meeting Sunday, October 3 at 7:30pm. We NEED members to come to accept the ballot for elections. This will also give you a chance to meet the members of the board! If you don’t come, we don’t have a board. If we don’t have a board, we don’t have a club!

I have received many emails from concerned members who aren’t currently active. If you are currently continuing to stay at home during the pandemic, taking care of a loved one, are ill yourself, or have been exposed the the virus. Please stay at home. Everyone is to wear a mask or gaiter. Do your best to maintain 6 foot distance from anyone you don’t normally train with.

We need members are actively attending classes, meetings, and trials or other non-dog events to come! Your voice really does matter!

To run for a position you must have already been nominated at the last meeting.

If you have any other questions, please contact the board at board@gcdoc.com or speak with one of us when we are at the building!

Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you there!.

Attention all members

We had a membership meeting on Sept. 21 where we needed to set the ballot for the upcoming election.  We did not have enough members present to vote on it. The board just had an emergency meeting tonight to decide what to do.  Unfortunately, we cannot change the bylaws, so there is nothing the board can do at this point.  The membership must vote on the ballots. 

We are going to have an emergency membership meeting on Sunday, October 3 at 7:30 pm. We need you to come and vote.  This is your club.  If no one comes to vote, there will be no board and no club.  This club is based on volunteers who love dogs.  There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make this club functional and  everyone needs to contribute.  We cannot stress enough how important this meeting is.  Please come to this meeting and vote on the ballots. 

GCDOC Board

The land will be closed for a Lure Coursing Trial on Saturday, October 2nd and Sunday, October 3rd

PLEASE DO NOT PAY YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES YET!

Tami, our membership chair, will send you an invoice so you know how many hours you have for the year and how much you actually owe! Please wait until you receive that email!
