Meeting Agenda 9-10 Next Board / Membership Meeting Dates, Contacts for Meetings, Programs, Sunshine, Newsletter 11 Mark your calendars for our NEW Christmas Party date – Thursday, December 9. We realized that our previously stated date was in conflict with the AKC Nationals and wanted to try to accommodate everyone. Also, mark your calendars for October 30 at Happy Dogs for our Match. Please try to make our meeting this month. When we have business to attend to, we need a quorum in attendance if there is an issue that needs a vote. Many folks have been absent during the last couple of meetings and we have sent (or are sending) a Survey Monkey to get your feedback. Please participate in the survey. With that being said, we have a great program scheduled this month at our meeting on October 19th at the Hilton. The Breeder’s Support Specialists (affiliated with AKC), will present a program at 7:00 and will stay and answer any questions you may have. Hope to see you there! Till next time, Jeanette

After two years and not being in the show ring since he was a 6 month old puppy, Jamie came out to play again as a 2.5 year old. In the 4 shows with large entries in Greenville he managed to achieve RW/RW/BW/WD to which gave him 9 championship points with both his majors! With one of those Majors being accomplished at the VCC Supported entry! Thanks to Steven Herman and Michael Faulkner for finding our boy for these large major wins! Also thanks to Jane Myers and Jay Richardson for the RW recognition. In Sept he headed out to Raleigh NC, where the competition was slight and picked up 2 more points and a RW for those days he showed.
