JANUARY MEETING UPDATE
There was a general meeting on Sunday, January 6, 2002 at the home of Cathy and Don Magoon. The meeting started at
10:50AM. Don made sure there was hot coffee. Everyone else brought
something to share…as usual, there was more than enough food!
In the absence of the President (at the Palm Springs Kennel Club
Show) and Vice-President (taking care of the family boat emergency),
the meeting was called to order by Recording Secretary Karla Weber.
Karla Weber and Linda Ercoli reported that the October Hunt Test
made a profit of $399! It was suggested that the October Hunt
Test date be changed to October 26-27. This was discussed and
passed. Karla and Linda will again handle the arrangements for
the test.
It was also discussed and decided that the Club again hold a November
Field Trial. Karen Nelsen and Karla Weber will be handling the
arrangements. The date will be November 16-17. This is the same
date we have held in the past for the event. Karen Nelsen said
she would contact Barb Tucker, GWPCA secretary for national club
approval.
While discussing the above two events, the members considered
that the GWPCA Nationals were going to be held ten days earlier
this year, thus allowing our club to hold both events. (The GWPCA
Nationals will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska beginning on Friday
October 4th.) This would allow club members attending the Nationals
sufficient time with the Hunt Test and the Field Trial.
Cathie Magoon is in charge of the club’s participation in the
annual Pet Fair. The dates this year are April 26th -28th. The
event has moved to Orange County this year. Times of the event
are Friday from 10 to 6, Saturday from 9 to 7, and Sunday from
9 to 6. If you are interested in participating in the event,
please contact Cathie at 909-734-2939. More details will appear
in the newsletter as they become available.
The Nominating Committee for officers for the upcoming year are
Karen Nelsen, Chairman and Charlie Licitra and Luanne Lelewer.
(Their recommendations for officers will appear in this issue.)
Karen Nelsen reported that a sympathy card was sent to the family
of Linda and Jimmy Rice because of the recent death of Linda’s
father Cal.
FIELD TRIAL
Don Magoon has all in order for the upcoming Field Trial the weekend
of the 16th and 17th. Karen Nelsen reports that all stakes are
full and entries are being taken on a “wait list” basis. Because
of the number of entries, we will probably need to add another
course, and possibly a extra judge.
Workers are always needed to plant birds, get handlers and dogs
to the line and also do other “go-fer” chores. Your help would
be greatly appreciated, so please come out and help.
Don reported at the meeting that the use of AKC approved tracking
collars will be allowed in all stakes at the Field Trial. Members
and participants will be notified of the change.

Leweler) is pleased to offer the names of the following club members
