At our next club meeting on July 13, we will accept
nominations from the club membership for the 2 yr.

following months meeting.  As the election will not
be held at the same meeting as the nominations,
the nominated individual will not have to be present
to accept the nomination.  A nomination committee
will be assigned to contact any nominated
individual to determine his/her willingness to accept
the nomination.


The work detail that was to be held at Phil Toys is
canceled.  
We will hold the work detail at the club
grounds Saturday June 29
as early as you can get
there, on and about 9 am. Bring your landscaping
tools, chain saws, axes, rakes and shovels.


April 19 & 20 2008 was a great weekend at
the Oak Ridge grounds. The weather cooperated
and more than 90 dogs were entered in the first
hunt test held at the new grounds in Harrisville PA.  

The club pulled together in one tremendous effort
that was but a dream in October when they signed
the lease on 200 acres.In that short time a club
house was built, a road was cut, and grounds were
cleaned up and prepped for the April Hunt Test.

If you build it they will come.  
Well, they certainly did. More than 90 dogs were
entered in the weekend event, and handlers from
as far away as Georgia, North Carolina and Canada
ran their dogs.  

We had one field for the Juniors and one for the
Masters and Seniors.  In addition an exercise field
was available to run dogs before their brace.

Everything went rather smoothly and the Hunt Test
Chairman Leon Blashock and Club President Chap
Nebinger can be proud of the results.
