The show season is in full swing and I've seen many brags and nice wins by many of our members as well as performance titles being gained. Congrats to all and keep up the hard work. Way to represent our breed. Also I want to encourage everyone to get out with your Manchesters and show them off to the public. We need to get more people interested in our wonderful breed. The board has been working on the directory and getting the membership renewals finalized. We have had a lot of interest in the new website and several people have taking advantage of the online membership application process. Special thanks to Diane Texter and Kathy Nissen for helping work though the hiccups getting it working correctly. The online bill pay is also going over very well. All of these changes should help our club appeal to newer members. Plans for the next couple of Nationals are in the works and should be great fun. Also I would like to encourage any one that would like to do more for the club please volunteer for a committee. Contact Kathy for info on what we need. Thanks again and see you guys around the ring. Good luck everyone. Jeremy McClister President AMTC 6 NOTES FROM THE NEWSLETTER EDITOR Hi everyone – editing this newsletter is a lot like baking a cake. I make the cake four times a year – the same time each quarter every single year – so really you can put it on your calendar, set a timer and count on it. There are a lot of different ingredients that go into it each time: some sweet, some sour, some nutty and also some basics. If I have four of the ten ingredients – and I am waiting on six of them – I can’t make the “cake” when I should, and it’s not really fair to the folks that are waiting and hungry for their cake (or those folks that get me their ingredients on time - bless you!). If I have the same old ingredients every time, the cake will be boring, so it’s super nice when I get spices from all over the country from lots of different people. We have THE very best breed of dog – and their human companions
