- The
beginning of the meeting with Bill Hommel introducing himself, his new wife,
and their Klee Kai, Chocko. Chocko was a produced by two AKK's.
It was reported that Eileen had used her leverage to keep the dog from being
registered in spite of the fact that she and her parents all pass the
standard requirements. With
this in mind, the Klee Kai Committee decided last year at the annual meeting
to register Chocko with the local group.
This would benefit not just this particular dog, but if her pedigree
could be linked to our database, she would bring in new blood.
Her pedigree did link to our local database.
- The
next item discussed was the health of the breeder, Carroll Parkison.
Her difficulty breathing causes her to have low energy.
She expressed the need for officers to be willing to help more in the
coming year.
- Carroll
Parkison reported that she tried to get a professional handler to hold a
conformation clinic for us. They would have been able to attend our
regularly scheduled meeting; however, since
the date was changed to accommodate Linda Spurlin, the handlers had a busy
weekend showing dogs and were unable to change their schedules at such a
late date. Linda didn�t make it, in spite of the date change.
- Carroll Parkison mentioned plans to schedule next year�s picnic and
meeting on a date so that there isn�t a conflict with major shows in this
area.
- Cathy Petite brought various pieces of agility equipment and held a brief
clinic to show people how to use the equipment.
- A vote was taken to elect officers for the coming year. Penny Ripple was
nominated and re-elected as President. Nancy
Turner was elected as the Vice President/Secretary.
Carroll Parkison was re-elected as the Registrar and Treasurer
-
The need for more committees was discussed.
People are needed to promote showing of Klee Kai and for fund raising and
other activities. It is expected
that people will have to be appointed during the year as advisors and to fulfill
needed tasks.
There were no comments.
The meeting was adjourned until next year.
Respectfully Submitted by Nancy
Turner,
Vice President/Secretary
