Due to high temperatures and the chance of rain, today’s fit dog walk has been moved to 7.

Do you want the club opened back up? Show up Monday 6:30 to 8:30 and pitch in.

The good news is that the restroom floors are done. A second coat of paint is being applied this afternoon, so the restrooms remain closed until at least tomorrow. In addition, since we have had no volunteers to help clean things up, the building will remain closed for the safety of our dogs and anyone who has dust issues. The contractor created a fine layer of concrete dust while grinding the floors level which settled over all of the surfaces in the restrooms AND the floors/countertops in the front room and most likely the turf room also. Understanding that weekends and during the workday are tough times to be at the club due to other commitments, I am proposing that members plan to help MONDAY 6:30 to 8:30 to use sweepers and damp rags to clean the floors and counters and anything else that needs to be wiped down. Dusting will not get it, that only spreads the dust someplace else. If you bring small shop vacs which have HEPA filters and have a brush attachment, that could also be used.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
Just a warning that when going to the land to run your dogs, be VERY CAREFUL!
I was there Friday evening when sirens went off. The howling from coyotes was everywhere. One of my friends was running her dogs off lead on Friday morning. One came running back to her, looking behind her. My friend looked in the area the dog came from, and saw a huge coyote in the brush. They are prolific at the land.
Please consider NOT letting your dogs run free unless you are in the fenced area. It is not safe.

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!
