Letter from the CASC President…
Happy New Year! I hope the year 2012 brings everyone, health, wealth,
and happiness! I saw a post on the computer today… make a promise to
do one act of kindness, or make something, for 5 different people… you
have the entire year to complete this task. Think about things you can do
to make someone else happy, or have a better moment.
I hope everyone is rested up and ready to start enjoying our dogs and
seeing our CASC friends for more fun activities and shows. Our tracking
test is being held this year on March 11; we will be plotting tracks on the
10th. This is a fun sport to watch - it is amazing how the dogs follow
scent! When the dog & handler find the end article, it is a thrill for all!
Join us! We always serve lunch on Sunday, after the tests… it is always exciting, with the participants reliving their outcome, to a wonderful camaraderie among dog lovers. Why don’t we plan to bring a “covered dish”
lunch, enough for all, and afterwards, have our Spring CASC meeting?
We will already have several members attending, and hopefully some of
the others can join us to support out test, and have a wonderful lunch…
as always!
As always, we need to be looking at dates… we have people asking when
we will be holding our Rally & Obedience trials, as well as Conformation
events. There are a lot of people that like to show with us… that says a
lot for our club and it’s members! Even with the hardships that life imposes on us, you have found ways in which to help, even if it is only for a
“little bit” or a “small detail”. It is all the “little bits” and “small details”
put together, that makes things happen. Thank you, for putting the effort
into making our club a success. Here’s to an even better year in 2012!
See you soon!
Mary

We need to have another Rally trial and set a date for a summer conformation show. It was suggested to have the Rally trial at Bobbie’s and the summer conformation show at DTA. Discussion was held about doing both at the same time.
Potential new event venue in Southern Pines/Pinehurst area – Jane Hammett-Bright of Shadow Hill Kennel, Jackson Springs, NC.
This facility is available to us at minimal cost. 64 acres with indoor facility (no a/c at present). We will have to have a serious commitment from club members to put on a show in Southern Pines area. It was suggested that we could co-host an event with First in
Flight ASC. After getting feedback from club members Mary could touch base with Kristie.
Election of Officers for 2012 – proposed:

One New Member
If every member would invite at least one new person to join our club
this year, we can double our efforts! We have some great events in the
planning - Rally & Obedience shows, Conformation shows, Agility
in NC & SC, a Tracking test, and a Herding trial! We have a lot to
offer and can always appreciate new help! Make it your goal!

Our 2nd Great
Tracking Workshop

Due to having so many people
that were unable to get into
the limited participation, tracking workshop we held in April,
we offered another one in November, with equal success!
Instructor, Jack Sappenfield,
lead the way for participants
to enjoy the experience of
teaching scent work to their
