From The President:
Sandy Allen
Happy Spring! After a long, hard winter it appears spring is finally here! Thank you to everyone who came and supported the entry at Celtic Cluster. It
was amazing to see so many really nice cattle dogs in the ring. Congratulations
to everyone. We were so pleased with the Celtic Cluster that we are exploring
holding a specialty next year under the national club; if approved. Next up is the herding trial in June. One of our newest members had
volunteered to cater both days of the trial! We still need volunteers to help with
serving so please plan on attending the trial. We would like to plan a fall activity, any ideas? Please post suggestions on the
club Facebook site or Yahoo group.
Thanks again for the great turn out in York!

Meeting Minutes
2014
March 15, 2014: Meeting held at York Celtic Classic supported entry
UPCOMING HERDING TRIAL IN JUNE:
HERDING TROPHIES: Now available for support. Reviewed what trophies are and noted that this would
be posted on club list/FB. Highest-scoring ACD on Cattle trophy both days is already booked by Cyn
Knowlton.
HERDING TRIAL LUNCH: Due to difficulties getting help in putting on lunch both days of the trial,
discussion had been held at January meeting regarding doing lunch just one day (either food or
donations to go buy food) and getting a vendor the second day. The option was presented to continue
with that or to get the vendor for both days. New club member Lisa Little has volunteered to handle
food for the trial for both days and the club will ask members for donations. Club will reimburse Lisa
for her costs. Volunteers will still be needed to help at the site and further information will be on the
club's message board.
HERDING TRIAL CHAIR/COMMITTEE: Member Bill Lagoda has agreed to serve as herding trial chair for
this year. The committee has its 3 members (Cyn K, Julie B, and Sara R) so we are now on track. The
ACDCA via Sara R has provided its certification for the trial. A big thank you to everyone who is helping
to pull this off.
Next possible club event being looked into: Herding Fun Day in the late fall at the site where the
summer trial is held. This event would be an instinct-type event with cost for members subsidized by
the club. Each member may bring one dog for $20 and any additional dog at $25. Further information
on the event/dates/dog minimum age will be gathered and presented shortly by Barb Finegan. If this
event cannot be held, we will look to hold another Let's Try Rally/Obedience/Photo/possible CGC
testing Fun Day event again, possibly at Karen Freeborn's where we held the prior Fun Day.
New members approved include Lisa Little, Ellen Schwab, Chuck Lamers, Jodi and Jack Newman.
Club members approved expenditure of $200 to sponsor ACDCA national specialty trophy for 2014.
NEW BUSINESS: Hosting a Regional Specialty under the certification of ACDCA was suggested by Lee
Kephart for March of 2015 during the 5-day Celtic Classic cluster in March. Lee agreed to spearhead
the organizational effort and will be looking for assistance. The idea was approved.
Thanks to everyone who came to the holiday party!
Special thanks to Cheryl Carey for opening her home to the club.
Also thanks to Deb K for CGC testing.
Congrats to the new CGC titled dogs and their owners!
