SPECIALTY - 1998

• Terry Sadler proposed that we have a VISITING HOURS one of the first evenings. This would be held at  R AMADA under a tent on the lawn. People would buy a space that is mapped out when purchased. This would be a chance to meet people and their dogs, exchange pedigrees and business cards, talk about brags, etc., and put actual faces with actual dogs or services that one may offer. This is always offered at the Sheltie Nationals and it usually is a big hit.

• The following non-regular obedience classes will be offered: Graduate Novice, Brace, Veterans, and Team.

• Richard Whorton recommended that we reduce the registration costs.

• John Loomis has agreed to judge Agility, and Shirlee Jacobson will be our third obedience judge.

NEW MEMBERS 2 new member applications were received and the members were voted in.
