The Beagle Bugler
May 2008
Preparations Underway for July Specialty Show
Sherry Hinkel and the rest of the Specialty Committee are working hard to make CWBC’s 11th Specialty Show a stellar event. The show will be on Friday, July 18 at the Portland Expo Center preceding two Portland Kennel Club all-breed shows on Saturday and Sunday. Breed and Juniors judge will be Molly Martin. Puppy and Veterans Sweeps judge will be Penny Petrille. Obedience and Rally Obedience judge will be Pam Weaver. Carolyn Miller is assistant show chair for this event. Other committee chairs are:
Obedience – Janet Armstrong
Hospitality & Grounds – Gary Flightner
Trophy – Tracy Thun
Raffle – Ken Jorgensen
Advertising – Doug Flatbush
Ringside Mentoring Coordination – Claudia Anderson
Catalog Sales – Ila Edwards
As always, we are hoping for generous trophy donations from our members and friends. A donation form is on page 7 of this Bugler. Following the show, we will hold a potluck ringside. Members are asked to bring tasty items to share with our out of town guests. Look for the specialty premium to be mailed in early June.
Jr. Handler Scholarship Announced
The Columbia-Willamette Beagle Club is calling for applications for their annual Junior Handler Scholarship. The scholarship is for up to $1000. Recipients will be announced at the 2008 CWBC Specialty. Applicants
· Must be an AKC Junior Handler who has shown beagles in the AKC Junior Handler Program during the 2007-2008 school year
· Must be graduating from high school (or obtaining a GED) in 2008
· Must be starting college or qualified vocational school in the fall of 2008
Applications can be downloaded from the CWBC website at www.cwbeagles.com. Postmark deadline for application submittal is June 30, 2008 . For additional information or snail mail applications, contact Janet Armstrong at cwbcscholarship@aol.com.
Raffle Items Needed
Ken Jorgensen is looking for a few — actually quite a few — good items for this year’s Specialty Show Raffle. In the past, many of the dog show vendors have contributed items to the raffle. Ken says that the economy this year is making it harder for him to get raffle donations. He’s hoping that club members can make up some of the slack by donating items they already have, or by purchasing items to donate to the raffle.
Beagle and dog related items are always popular. Plush Beagle animals, baskets or other containers filled with dog treats and toys, grooming supplies, and Beagle figurines usually generate a lot of interest. However, non-dog items are welcome, too.
Ken would also appreciate any leads or suggestions of businesses that might be willing to donate to the raffle. Or better yet, it would be really great if members would contact the businesses themselves to ask for donations. Donors are listed in the show catalog and Ken can also send thank you letters to businesses that they may be able to use as a receipt for tax purposes.
For more information and/or to let Ken know you have a donation for the raffle, e-mail him at strbritebeagles2@comcast.net.
