T
he signs of fall are upon us as the Olympics
have come to a close,
and television is loaded with back to school
ads. I have enjoyed my summer greatly
and hope that you all have done the same.
The Patriots have started their training
camp, and the Red Sox are out of the running for any hopes of playing ball in October so that means it is time for York County
Kennel Club to start their new season.
Starting off we have the Seventh Annual
Meet the Breads coming up on Sunday,
September 16th at the Tractor Supply Co.
on RT 1 in Scarborough, Maine from 10am
to 4pm. This is co-sponsored by both Vacationland Dog Club and York County Kennel
Club. This is a great opportunity for the
public to see various dog breeds up close.
Also again this year our own Karen Norteman will be offering the Canine Good
Citizen test better known as CGC. This will
be a great opportunity for those of you taking and passing the test to be ready for the
new title that will come with this program
starting January 1, 2013.
will be needed and we
need to affix a date for the
match, which we will be
discussing at the August
Meeting.
As the summer break has
come to an end and the new season for
YCKC is beginning, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank a couple of club
members. First I would like to thank Karen
Norteman for putting together our new
web site. It is very user friendly and looks
wonderful and now it is easy to remember,
www.yckc.org, thank you Karen.
For those who do not know, Pollie Goodwin
is stepping down as YCKC’s show secretary
for the Southern Maine Coastal Classic.
This is one job that requires much hard
work and many hours of dedication. Pollie
has given the hard work and dedication
that is job requires and I truly want to say,
“thank you”.
Steve Hersey, President
York Country Kennel Club of Maine, Inc
We have our match coming in October, a
date has to be set but we will be looking
for help the day of the match. Volunteers
