Meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM by Julie Morris, President.

Program: Julie introduced Allen Odom who provided us with information on the new AKC requirements. He assured us that the activities DSA are involved in will meet those requirements. Likes and dislikes that judges have of exhibitors was discussed. Make sure you have the right dog with the right armband. Train your dog before entering a show and dress appropriately for the show ring. If you observe any inappropriate behavior occurring in the ring, let the judge know. Don’t enter under judges that you don’t respect. Pictures should be done last so judges can stay on time. Let the show superintendent know if that’s a problem. Remember we are the eyes and ears of what’s going on at shows. It’s your responsibility to step forward if there are problems occurring at a show.

Gave check to Jan for $200 deposit for Local Specialty for cleanup. Tax attorney is working on our taxes.

Committee Reports-

Agility Martha Lageschulte for Jane Reller: Jane has contracted a judge recommended by Sheila Kaufmann. Waiting to hear from National Western on whether they will need the building the day before our trial.
