The AKC has selected a committee to work on a Border Collie breed video. The Board requested that the AKC shoot the video at the national specialty in St. Louis this year, but the AKC is unable to do that.

Sharon Ferguson suggested that we look into working with the Jack Russell Terrier Club since we have quite a lot in common. The Board agreed that it would be a good idea.

Nancy Obermark sent email regarding the Showcase of Dogs in Memphis, TN, which will be held the weekend of October 3-4 this year. There were 100 breeds of dogs represented with breed booths last year, but the Border collie was not represented last year. The Board voted to have Fran Hoffman for judges education and a rescue person for the booth. However, we have since learned that the date for this event has been changed to October 10 and 11, which is at the same time as the specialty, so having someone there might be difficult.

Richard made a motion that we set the first week of every month as the Board 'meeting' date during which we will take up new business, take care of ALL old business, and review progress of committees. The Board voted in favor of this
motion.
