January - February 2010

 

Happy New Year to everyone including our four footed friends.

 

Our holiday party was a wonderful event and we owe Suzanne Kesterson and Marie Thompson a debt of gratitude for ensuring the success of the event.  Congratulations to all of the winners of the annual awards.  It’s lovely to see just how many of our animals can earn one title, not to mention those that go on to earn so many. Now that most of our holiday celebrations are over it comes time to think about our new year.

 

Our annual meeting will be held January 16 at the Lafayette Community Center.  The Board of Directors will hold a brief meeting, and then the general meeting will begin.  This meeting is very important as officers and board members will be elected for the following year.  The Board will then reconvene with the new board in place for any new action items.  We are looking for a great program idea to last about one hour. So, if any of you have any ideas, please get back to me at lblutman@pacbell.net or on my cell at 650-759-0184 with your ideas.

 

Plans are underway for our 2010 Sweepstakes and Specialty to be held in April.  If you haven’t been, please try and make time to make it.  It is wonderful to see the young puppies try to walk around a show ring and our oldsters looking like they never left the ring.  Obedience is a wonderful experience to watch and see what terriers can and will do when their owners and dogs  work together.

 

Following all of this will be the Spring Fling, headed by Maria Caffey, the Fun Day and Tartan Games, and believe it or not the holiday party will be around before any of us expect it.  2010 promises to be a very busy year.

 

I want to take this time to thank all of my committee chairs and committee persons this past year.  This organization could not manage without each and every one of you doing all that you do to ensure successful events.

 

For our new members and subscribers, take a look at some of the events and see how you may want to help this next year.  We need each of you to keep things going smoothly.

 

May you have a wonderful 2010.

In Westie love,

Lisa
