NCBCC November 2018

Message from the President

Happy November!

First, I'd like to take a moment to thank Linda Porter for her hard work on our annual NCBCC Agility Trial! There were so many lovely comments received from participants and the judges. Thanks also to the club members who supported efforts at the show--Casey Minner, Stan Kman, Karen Kman, Lynne Corn, and Sandy Pabst. If I've forgotten anyone my apologies. We are so grateful for your continued support!

Or next club event is NEXT SATURDAY. We apologize for the short notice, but we had a few kinks to work out and plans to change. Our annual meeting will be held Saturday, November 17th at Lynne Corn's home in Falls Church, VA. Details are included later in the newsletter--but please RSVP ASAP! We will share some information about future events as well as vote in our 2019 board members. Please see our notes from our meeting at the agility trial for more information.

Also, in December please keep the annual Scottish Walk in Alexandria, VA on your radar! It will take place on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at 11:00 am. Details about meeting for the parade to come. Please let me know if you plan to attend!

Stay warm!

Event Information

Don’t miss our beardie bounce and annual meeting

If it’s dry on Friday and Saturday, Lynne welcomes beardie guests and their people at 1p Saturday, November 17th. The yard was recently aerated and seeded, which would not be great for beardie feet if it’s wet. People traveling from a distance who need to bring their dogs, are welcome, but there may be muddy results.

Lynne is fixing a delicious main course (which will be amazing bc Lynne is an excellent chef) and asks the t you let her know by Thursday if you’ll be coming and what you’d like to bring for a pot luck.

Email Lynne at brynacap@verizon.net to rsvp and get the full address.
