regional specialty will be

and 6 are the Lost Dutch-
man KC shows with Da-
vid Bolus judging the 5th

Treasurer’s Report: Jennifer reported that she had not had an
opportunity to prepare the September and October re-ports as she
had been tied up with the National. The reports will be forthcoming
in the next few days. She did report that the numbers are not yet
in from the National but reports are reflecting that it was a huge
success. There were some expenses during the past month for the CPA
for preparation of the tax return and for plaques.
Unfinished Business:
2019 Specialty - at this time we have not been presented with
any dates or any shows in the Arizona area. Bernie had reported
that the Standard Schnauzer Club would like for us to do our
National with them at Purina in 2019. The board voted no. Kim
reported that she would like to do it in Gree-ley, Colorado in
2019. There is no judges panel as yet. Kim will prepare the paper
work for review.
2017 National – Janine report-ed that the National will be held
in Harrisburg, Pennsylva-nia. She is currently working on the
contract for the judges. Luke Norton will be the show chair. Their
team will start working on the logo.
Regional Reports:
East – Janine reported that there are 26 giants entered at the
regional in Maryland next week. All plans are going well.
Midwest – Mike reported that he is looking for a venue. He is
considering Springfield, Illi-nois in late October 2018.
South – Melisa reported that Robin Henderson would like to have
a specialty in Perry, Georgia. We will hold the date but cannot
approve until we have the judges panel. They are working on the
sweeps judge and the logo. They cur-rently have a donor for all
tro-phies.
West – Kappy had no updates at this time.
Rescue – Due to other pend-ing issues the drafts for rescue are
tabled at this time.
New Business:
It was reported that renewal membership forms will be mailed in
the next few days.
Howard has a contact that can process our e-balloting for the
club. He will be contacting them to learn the process for setup and
fees. We need to consider a revision to the Standing Rules for
Judges Se-lection. We would like to do this by e-ballot.
Robyn Elliott will be including a Book of Champions in the
De-cember 2016 Steps.
Kim mad a motion to ad-
journ
Kappy seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
