Volunteers Needed – Outdoor Earth Dog Fun April 27-28th
We are looking for a few volunteers for the Earthdog Trials on April 27 and 28. Some walking on uneven ground and standing is involved. Other than that, the work isn’t strenuous. No prior Earthdog experience is required. You will do a variety of tasks, such as opening and closing a gate, managing a line of competitors, being a helper for the judge, etc. You also don’t have to have a dog in Earthdog to volunteer for Earthdog. We might be finished each day before 6.
Saturday 9 to 1:30 need 3 volunteers
Saturday 1:30 to 6 need 3 volunteers
Sunday 9 to 1:30 need 3 volunteers

ALSO – Greene County parks does “full moon” walks, and we plan to participate in those, as well. Stay posted for upcoming additional dates – but this is what we have so far! See everyone at Wegerzyn on 3/10!
Scottie Meyer Award
I am so grateful to be awarded this special honor. I have so many great people around me. Thank you to everyone who believes in me, everyone who puts up with me, and to the great friends I’ve met over the years. New and old.
I would like to especially thank Jessa Kenworthy for helping me guide the club through the rough times last year. I never could have done it without her.
I will do my very best to uphold the reasons I was given this very special award.
Sincerely,
Angela Profitt
