We still need some help with the Shows next weekend! Please come sign up to work in the afternoon and earn some hours!
I have been in contact with the volunteer coordinator for the RNC on July 18-19. Come help and cheer on fellow members! Contact me and I’ll send your information on to the coordinator. Again….free lunch! Possibly a little swag too! They desperately need help to make this a successful event!
Steve is asking for volunteers to help with updating the restrooms. Check our website, the papers taped to the doors or contact Steve directly!

First , I would like to thank everyone who has volunteered! I really appreciate you!
We do still need a few more Saturday and Sunday afternoon volunteers. You’ll still have the same great lunch the morning crew has! But you’ll get to sleep in! You don’t need any experience, the judges will teach you everything you need to help them. Come join us!If you happen to be showing a dog that doesn’t need a lot of grooming, it would be great if you could fill when a steward needs a break. We have at least one that has to step away for their breed.
Agan, thank you! These events are what keeps our club going strong!
Hey everyone! We need help! There’s only 2 weeks left until this show and we only have 3 volunteers. All hours count towards Gem City required hours for membership. There are no run around jobs. They are great jobs if you can’t get around as well as you used to. I will make sure you get something you can handle. Work half day or full day. You do not need experience. Just think, you could practically get all your hours in on one weekend if you promise to work the whole thing. The judges will tell you exactly what they would like you to do. They are always so patient.
Lunch will be provided. Michelle always makes sure everyone is fed. She does an amazing job! Plus, she makes the best desserts! We will make sure you’re done in time for fireworks and evening celebrations.
Remember, Crossroads Canine Club rents volunteers along with the building. Please sign up to help make this trial a success! Thank you!

We need participation or we may have to look to stop doing these events. Worker time slots are first thing in the morning to run their dogs, otherwise, you will have to go for the times you sign up for.
The GCDOC Fast Cat event at K9 Splash Zone in Brookville is scheduled for August 16-18. We will need workers and ESPECIALLY some younger members who are willing to release dogs for owners!!!!!
We will need people to man the back and front gates and inspection desk for morning and afternoon all three days. Lunch will be provided by the club.
Please email Ronalee at [email protected] to reserve your special job today!!!!! Please if you are younger and can help hold dogs, that would be great. Please let Ronalee know of a preference of day and time!
We have many events coming up that need volunteers. Try to remember, trials/shows/tests are what keeps our club going. Our exhibitors love coming to show at our events!
Did you know that AKC featured our obedience and rally trials in their nationwide email? Pretty cool, right? So many new faces! Record entries! We were only missing workers! Our trial chair, Michelle, took very good care of anyone working. Nobody went home hungry!
Please go to the “volunteers needed “ page of our website. The CCC Conformation and Rally is coming up next month and we will need a lot of volunteers. Hours count towards GCDOC membership hours. I also saw Barnhunt. There’s hours available to help improve the restrooms, building maintenance , and many other things!Get those hours taken care of so you aren’t struggling to find something at the end of the membership year!
Don’t worry about not knowing anything about the sport we need volunteers for. The judges are always wonderful and willing to explain what they need. Our club members who are showing are always happy to take a minute to answer your questions. You may even find yourself falling in love with a new sport!
