Newf News Serving Chicago, Northern Illinois, Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa Website: www.northcentralnewf.org March/April 2008 Editor: Angela Mertens 4109 Springbrook Ct Pleasant Prairie, WI 53158 (262) 942-0271 email: [email protected] President’s Column Cissy Sullivan Hi Newf Friends, Sitting back and reflecting about our Regional Specialty, it comes to mind the old adage “It takes a village to raise a child”. I see where a comparison can be made to the rearing and nurturing of a club. It takes a WHOLE lot of people working together to build a strong club. I witnessed this during the time spent preparing, organizing and presenting this venue. I hope that everyone noticed the additional hard work that went into providing a nice hospitality area, and a GREAT Auction/brown bag area. It was great to see more participation and effort into those areas. Without the countless hours of volunteerism the goal of bringing this presentation to fruition would never be met. Thanks to our Show Chair Joan Gunn, for putting together such an event. My hat is off to the MANY people of OUR VILLAGE who worked tirelessly, and my heartfelt thanks as well. What a line up of outstanding beautiful dogs. It was like EYE CANDY to any dog lover. My personal thanks to all who entered, attended, and shared time at our event. I appreciate the dedication and hard work that everyone embraces to prepare for these and all other working events. Congratulations to everyone, you are ALL WINNERS on so many levels, and I truly hope everyone had an enjoyable time. I am in HIGH hopes that everyone has renewed their memberships by now, if not please contact Mary Trauernicht. We need to keep our VILLAGE consistent as well as happily welcoming new members. I want to mention one of our NCNC members who does a whole lot behind the scenes and provides us all with THIS source of information. Angela Mertens has done, and continues to do a great job with our newsletter. She has spruced it up with more photos, and visuals that make it not only interesting to read, but provide some AHHH moments when looking at the pictures. This is a large job, and we are fortunate to have Angela volunteer to do it for us. So my personal THANKS to Angela! Looking forward to the Spring of the year our club has planned for some events that will provide great fun, great camaraderie, for both human and canines alike. On May 10th NEWFIEPALOOZA will once again ROCK and KNOCK your socks off!! Each year when I think it can’t get much better than this, Karen and Rhonda kick it up another notch. This year will be no exception. Details of this awesome event held to benefit NCNC rescue Continued on page 9 Newf News March/April 2008 page 2 Senior Birthdays March 3/29/96 Stormy (Ch.

While our entries were down a little over last year, the camaFebruary raderie, enthusiasm and cheer reached an all time 29th & high. Our show committee responsible for this event, March 1st did all possible to make it so. From our co-chair, Dona 2008 Baker, also responsible for a great banquet, Chief Ring Stewards, Jan Danielsen (Friday), Rick Torres (Saturday), Chief Obedience Steward, Denita Jackman, Trophy Chair Linda Larsen (trophies were all covered) to Hospitality Chairs, Cissy Sullivan and Tara Bertrand, Raffle/Auction Chair Carol Thonn, to Cardiology/Cerf Clinic Co-ordinator Ted Meeker, and Judges Hospitality Mary Trauernicht and all of those many volunteers who pitched in to help, this was a very successful event. Our day began with enough to fill a hungry person, coffee, rolls, and more and don’t forget cafe tables with snacks throughout the day. The weather cooperated, exhibitors arrived and judging all proceeded smoothly. The results of the day don’t begin to match the wonder of the many entries both in breed and obedience. Whether exhibitors won, placed or just showed, they are all winners. They love and appreciate this marvelous breed and took the trouble to let us all see them. Again, as with all we do, are success is measured by the dedication of our members. This was a success because we have so many dedicated members willing to give freely of themselves. Thank you all. 8 And The Winners Are: Regional Speciality Results Friday February 29, 2008 SWEEPSTAKES - JUDGE: VERA KOLLAR Best Puppy in Sweepstakes - BeeCreek’s Lucky Won.

I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all who took the time to respond to the National Survey. Your cooperation and input are greatly appreciated! The results of the survey are as follows: We had approximately 16 responses (there were a few more, but they came in after the deadline and the tally). All but one was in favor of hosting a National. Nine respondents offered to chair committees, all were willing to work on one. We received 3 suggestions for sites to look at. The results of the survey have been collected and compiled in a binder for future reference should NCNC decide to pursue hosting a future National. Again, thank you to all who responded. Kathy Van Wie Getting Ready To Roll Watch our website for dates and location of draft practice sessions in May. Practice will begin again in the fall before the draft test. Don’t forget The Membership Meeting and Election of Officers at the Annual Picnic on Sunday, June 22th.
