This is at a new venue and a new time of year for the Eastern, but it drew a really nice entry so hopefully it will prove to be a good move for the club. Speaking of specialties, the National is just a couple of weeks away at this point. Whippet breeder judge, Harriett Lee, drew a huge entry for the conformation classes this year. The performance events drew some really big numbers as well which just goes to show how many fanciers are dedicated to a wellrounded Whippet. I am looking forward to the week and getting the chance to say hello to old friends and maybe meet some new ones. If you are going to be at the National next month, please plan to attend the annual meeting. The meeting time has been changed this year to see if having it in the morning rather than the evening would bring attendance up. To update the progress of a couple of committees for you, the Illustrated Standard committee is now in the process of putting the final drawings together with the wording. Mary Dukes, head of the committee, is hoping to have a rough draft available for presentation at the National. The proposed ByLaws changes have been sent to the AKC to scrutinize. The office there will be in touch with me if we need to make any modifications to the proposed changes before submitting the final complete version of the By-Laws as amended to the AKC Board for their approval. Once AKC has approved the new document it will then go to the membership for ratification. The Board recently acted on the applications of three individuals. I would like to welcome Angie Bass, Cecil R. Brown and Sharron Lane as the newest members of the AWC. Have safe travels to Lexington. Until the next time, take care and have fun with your Whippets.

If they don’t get to you in time to return them to me by March 28th, I will accept hand deliveries at the National until Wednesday, April 6th. If you have Board agenda items that you would like to have discussed, please email me or give me a call before the same date above. Cindy Scott, AWC Secretary SHOW CHAIR REPORT Lexington here we come! This is one of the largest entries we’ve had in some years and it should prove to be a great National.

It’s just around the corner. Cindy AKC CAR Canine Support & Relief Fund Accepting Donations for Disaster Relief in Japan In light of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, many fanciers and concerned dog owners have asked us how they can help the companion animal victims of these tragedies. If you are interested in offering your assistance, we encourage contributions to our AKC Companion Animal Recovery Canine Support and Relief Fund._ (https://www.akccar.org/donate/index.cfm? fund_type=KHRFUND) Started in the wake of 9/11, the fund has donated more than $3 million to search and rescue teams and for companion animal relief during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. Funds will be donated to appropriate organizations in support of search and rescue dogs’ efforts to find survivors and to aid in disaster relief for Japan’s displaced companion animals. You may go here_ (https://www.akccar.org/donate/ index.cfm?fund_type=KHRFUND) to make a donation and please note that it is on behalf of “Japan.” Thank you for keeping the Japanese people and their pets in your thoughts. 2011 Top Twenty Reminders Here is another reminder about the Top Twenty Raffle items. You can buy tickets on PayPal as well as order a catalog and buy admission tickets. http://awctop20.com/raffle.html We have two really unique items. Both donated to honor great Whippets. One very special and unusual item was donated by Deborah and Maurice Bahm. Deborah arranged to have a gorgeous quilt made by Sally Papin in honor of Redford and Victoria. Take a look at it. You will not see another one like it. Wouldn't it look great on your couch or hanging on your wall? The second was donated to the raffle by Jackie Hubble. It is a porcelain statue of running Whippets — a great mantel piece. Jackie is honoring both Redford and Emma with this donation. They are both past Top Twenty winners. I can personally vouch for the "Body Shirt" item. My 13 1/2 year old girl wears hers all the time. It is comfortable, warm, attractive, washes well and she loves to have it on. There's a really cute pair of flip flops if you wear size 8. Also a lovely silver pin, two Laurelwood collectable Whippet plates, an original brass Whippet bust, and a gift certificate to Fuzzywumpets. We are adding music to the event this year. Every dog will have a song played as background music while they are in the ring--each song selected for the dog by the owner. I want to mention again about the refreshments on the night of the Top Twenty event — we will be serving dessert only. There will be a cash bar — and Starbucks coffee available near the show room. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

Born in Kelowna, BC, Canada, she lived with her family in China before they moved to Hawaii in 1939. Joan was a senior at Roosevelt High when Pearl Harbor was bombed and she went to work for the Signal Corps at Hickam AFB. In 1946, she married Sam R. Damon, a descendent of Samuel Mills Damon and the Damon Estate, once Hawaii's fourth-largest private landowner. Joan graduated Cum Laude from Hawaii Loa College in 1944, majoring in communication and the arts. Joan was one of the first women in Hawaii to play golf and will always be remembered as one of the best. She gained notoriety for her prodigious golf game, winning 23 major titles with remarkable focus and a gift for going long. In 1989, Joan was the second woman inducted into the Hawaii Golf Hall of Fame after Jackie Pung. She is the only golfer to win the Jennie K - Hawaii's most cherished women's title - six times including four in a row from 1961 through 1964. Joan also captured five straight women's stroke-play titles. Joan's tall stature and huge game were imposing but she was also extremely kind, a fascinating contrast. "Everybody was intimidated by her because she was such a good golfer," recalls Bev Kim, another Hall of Famer. "But she was really nice and like a mother to me." Kim was in high school when she met Damon who was the 1958 Japan Amateur Champion and still winning titles in her late 40s. Both took lessons from the legendary Guinea Kop and became good friends despite being a generation apart in age. While living in Hawaii, Joan was active in Junior League and the Red Cross and volunteered at Queen's Hospital. She also helped establish the Hawaii School for Girls. Joan has made her home in Pebble Beach for the last 37 years with her companion, Robert Albanese. During this time, she enjoyed many visits to Hawaii until a car accident in 1995 limited her traveling. Joan was recognized as an owner and breeder of Whippets. She was a member of the Del Monte Kennel Club and her Whippets won Best of Breed three times at the Westminster Dog Show. In addition to her companion, Robert, she is survived by her daughters, Sharon Damon of the Monterey Peninsula and Madeleine Wright of Pebble Beach; two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her husband, Sam, preceded her in death in 1957. 8 | The Whippe t News march 2011 October 11, 1924 - January 1, 2011 In the Whippet world, Joan was known for being a connoisseur of fine show Whippets, who supported the careers of a veritable who’s-who of top Whippets in the 1990s and early 2000s. Almost yearly in during this time, Joan, in partnership with handler Mary Dukes, had the number one Whippet. Joan enjoyed the success of her Whippets and had notable success as the co-breeder of winning puppies from her Whippets. The kennel name of Poppy Hills graced lovely Whippets who will live on in many pedigrees. Joan was always friendly and helpful to newcomers to the breed and was a gracious presence at the Del Monte KC shows. She was also a great supporter of the NCWFA Specialty in its early days. Joan Damon will be missed by her friends but she will never be forgotten.

If you have items to donate for the rescue Whippets or wish to register your Whippet for the Parade, please contact Ruth Beall by email at [email protected] (please remove spaces). We will need your name, your Whippet's name, and a short bio that can be read while you and your rescue Whippet are in the ring. Please include an e-mail address, phone number, your Whippet's age and a photo of your rescue Whippet, to be included in the slide show at the WRAP table. If you cannot attend the National, but would like to have photos of your rescue Whippet included in the slideshow at the WRAP table, please e-mail your photos to Ruth Beall again at rhbeall@ hotmail.com.
