There will be a General Membership Meeting on Monday, February 26 at 7 pm. Previous membership minutes can be read here:https://gcdoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Membership-meeting-11.4.23.pdf

First of all Congratulations to all those that earned titles in 2023!!
Secondly, in case you did not notice, the title bar you received at the banquet erroneously had the date of 2024. We are re-ordering all the title bars with the correct date of 2023. We will send out a notice when they are available and you will be able to pick them up at the club.

We are so excited to see you tonight, and celebrate all your exciting titles!

What: GCDOC Awards Banquet When: Saturday, February 17, 2024

Where: GCDOC Building

Time: 5:30 Social (bring your own snacks and drinks) 6:30 Dinner (box lunches from Little Miami Catering)

Dessert will be included. Drinks will be available: Reg. &  Diet Coke, Pepsi, 7UP Water

The GCDOC board has voted to change the Bylaws Section 2 Dues. To change the Bylaws the Membership must also vote by secret ballot on the change presented by the board. Two-thirds of the membership present must vote “yes” to change the bylaws. We would like to change the word “sent” to each member to “make available” to each member and to change the days that a lapsed member can reapply to reinstate their membership from “90” to “30” days. Below is a copy of tje current Section 2 of the bylaws:

Section 2. DUES. GCDOC’s fiscal year is January 1 to December 31. The Membership year is November 1 to October 31. Membership dues shall be established by the board and shall not exceed $100 per year, payable to the Membership Chair on or before the last day of October. Dues for new members paid on or after July 1, shall carry over to the following year. No member may vote or hold office if that member’s dues are not paid for the current year. During the month of September, the Membership Chair shall send to each member a statement of dues for the ensuing year. After November 1 dues have lapsed, but members have a maximum of 90 days to reapply for membership. Such reapplying members must pay a reinstatement fee and dues as set forth in the Standing Rules.

A reminder that the building will be CLOSED (YES, EVEN THE TURF ROOM!!) Friday afternoon through Saturday evening. Our committee will be working hard to CLEAN, decorate, and set everything so that we will have a lower percentage of dog hair in our food. Please respect this work and avoid bringing your dogs to the building until Sunday.

Thank you!
The Awards Banquet Committee

The 2023 Awards Banquet tickets are now on sale DEADLINE IS FEB 10.

This year we are offering boxed meals from Little Miami Catering! There are tons of food choices, sandwiches and croissants, salads and wraps, and there should be something for everyone! You can even choose side dishes and meats!
We know that not everyone feels comfortable with food choices like these, so again this year we are offering a “Non meal” option. We will still be supplying drinks and desserts for everyone, so the non-meal choice still has a cost associated, but we are hopeful that we will all have a wonderful time at our own comfort levels!

As we did in previous years, again this year we are offering a Paypal payment option, or a mail-in check option. BOTH must be done through the website! This is your chance to RSVP!
