We have a date and most of the critical arrangements for the Regional Championships, to be hosted by Tri-State SchH Club. The date was moved from the previous proposed date (the second weekend in September) to the last weekend in September – Sept. 24&25, 2011. The judge is Frank Mensing, titles offered will be SchH A, 1,2,3, FH1,2, BH, and OB/TR. I realize that there may be some close dates with other clubs (I’m judging at Twin County the weekend after) and that there is a conflict with the WDA regional conformation show, but after much discussion and examinations of all the relevant calendars, this was the best option we could arrange. In fact, it is likely I won’t be at the regionals myself, as I have a standing engagement for the last weekend in Sept.
Which brings up the next order of business. This year, we have elections of regional officers. I would like to hear from two groups of people:
- Current regional officers (ARD, Secretary, Treasurer, Breed Warden, and TD). Do you wish to run for re-election (i.e., would you be willing to continue in your position?)?
- Anyone interested in a regional officer position, including RD.
- Finally, it always seems that we find ourselves right on top of the deadline when we remember that we wanted to fix something in the bylaws. So, if you have an issue in the bylaws you want addressed, please contact me and we can draft some language to propose for the Regional Meeting.
Everybody stay warm.
