I would like to begin by reminding everyone that there will not be a general meeting in July. Our next meeting will be the annual awards picnic being held at Dave and Helen Criswell's home on August st 1 • This is always a fun day and lots of food. Again, will provide the main dishes and everyone attending should bring a passing dish (side dish or desert). This is truly a social event with lots of good times and great conversations!!

If you have not already done so, please put in for your award. We have a short time to get the plaques made up and if you are late in your application, the plaque may be late getting to you. We take all award applications to the Board for their approval. The by-laws require applicants for awards to be in good standing with the club and to also be an active member. The awards are for any AKC recognized award. The importance of these awards is to demonstrate how active our club members are in AKC sponsored events and to recognize achievements in this participation. This is also the time for our Club to recognize all the members for their continued and active support of RKCevents, especially the fall show. Without all of you, we would not be successful. Thank you to everyone!!

AKC has recently authorized a new event called the Owner-Handler series. This event is held in conjunction with AKC authorized conformation events (which we will hold at our Saturday show) to recognize non-professional handlers in the breed and group rings. This event is judged by the same breed judges following Best of Breed judging, and breed winners progress from Breed to Group to Best in Show. Our Club is fortunate to have one of our members achieve Owner-Handler Best in Show. Paul Tragesser achieved this honor with their Samoyed "0S0." This accomplishment is even more outstanding when you consider the short time that Paul and Sarah have been exhibiting . This is a credit not only to Paul but to the Richland Kennel Club. Our Club is truly a reflection of our members and no one could represent us better than Paul. Thank you Paul and Oso for a job well done!!

Traditionally, during the month of July, there is no handling class. This is due to the temperature of the summer month. We all need to be aware of the upcoming heat and take those necessary preventive measures to protect our animals. Lots of water and adequate shade becomes a must. Also, be conscious of the potential for heat exhaustion if you leave a dog in a locked car. It takes only a few minutes to get over 100 degrees in a vehicle, even with the windows rolled down a little. None of us would want to see anyone lose an animal in this heat. Take care of yourselves and your pets!!

I would also like to let everyone know that Bonnie & I will be traveling to Michigan on July s" and will return around July zo". While we will be out of touch for these 2 weeks, we truly will have times when we will think of all of you. You have become much more than members, you are friends. We wish a happy and healthy July to all of you!!

st We will see you at our next meeting at Dave & Helen Criswell's home on August 1 •

Your President
