Emergency Exit Doors

Never leave anything blocking the Emergency doors, front or back. Not even for a minute. We have plenty of open wall space if you need to prop something up, don’t use doors and windows. It would also be appreciated if you took a look at the doors and be sure they are clear. These chairs remained leaning against the doors and windows all weekend, even with several people going in and out.

This is a very serious matter for a couple of reasons. First, if the fire marshal stopped in for a surprise inspection, we would be heavily fined. The second and most important, there could be serious injuries caused by objects blocking the doors. See below. (If I did it right)

Agility Volunteers for this weekend!

It sounds like some of you have had problems using the link previously provided. Unfortunately, Agility does not have their sign-ups on our website, so clicking the link and searching our website for the volunteer form isn’t possible. They only use a google document, which seems problematic for us to share. Here’s another attempt at sending the link.

If that link does not work, please feel free to contact Deb Werts. [email protected] or 419-733-1924.

Volunteer at the land – Aug 10-11,2024

Hello Gem City Members,

We are in need of more volunteers for the combined trial of Rat Rompers and Updog at the Gem City land on August 10th and 11th. These two dog sports offer lots of action and are fun to watch. The Rat Romper trial is held indoors in an air condition barn and the Updog is held outside. We will have cooling stations for dogs and people. Lunch is available for workers. Please contact Rachel Corbett <[email protected]> if you can volunteer.

Or click here to sign up!

Fit Dog Walk

FIT Dog Walk is cancelled for tonight. Parts of Beavercreek are without power and branches are down everwhere….also, the Fen is a wooden boardwalk that may be slippery. We may try to add a walk before the August one on August 4. Sorry for the late notice!

No Agility Course Set until Jul 29th!

I am so sorry, but we have decided not to set an agility course in the turf room until July 29.
There is still cleaning going on in the building. There are trials every weekend, which means
that we would have to tear down by at least Thursday each week. Rally and freestyle will be
performing on the turf, and this would give those teams the opportunity to practice with their
dogs on the turf. This is something that is not available to those teams very often. Thank you
for your understanding.
Also, I am leaving for vacation for the next 2 weeks. If you have questions, you may text Sherri
Heizer. She will text me if I am needed. Thanks again!

Agility Director
