Attention Members

It has now been several months since the Crate Policy was instituted.  If you have a crate at the building that is not tagged, it needs to be removed by August 15th, 2009.  If it not, it will be moved to the storage area, cleaned out if necessary and disposed of by the Board according to the Crate Management Policy.

Our building is being used by another organization later this month and all ineligible crates need to be removed so that the building can be cleaned and made ready for them to use.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Reminder to the Instructors

Please remind your students that they need to clean up after their dogs.  We have noticed that we have had a lot of poop in the grass, especially out by the street.  Bags should be readily available in both grass areas.

Thanks,  Barbara

Hi Members

Just a quick note from your new training director.  I am currently working on putting together the schedule for the next session.  I will be emailing all the current instructors shortly.

However, if you are not currently an instructor and would like to "spread your wings" and try assisting, please email me at  agilitymom@sbcglobal.net and I will get you hooked up with an instructor in your area of interest: obedience, rally, puppy kindegarten or agility. We call always use more help.

On another note, if you have a crate at the building and it is not properly tagged, please do one of the following: either get it tagged or take it home. The Club crate protocol is posted in several locations in the club. Crates that are not tagged or removed by the end of the month will be placed in the storage area and disposed of in some manner.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

Thanks, Barbara
