A Message from the Chair

There are still a few open committees that need chairpersons and volunteers to assist with. It is getting very close to the deadline to have these committees filled so they can move forward and we can input their information into the National Packet. Please take note of the committees in need and if you are aware of anyone who may be a great fit for the job or if your Regional Club wants to appoint a chair and take on the task as a club we think that would be fantastic as well. These are time sensitive so as soon as this can be discussed with your board and/or membership please try to do that.

We can provide detailed job descriptions if needed:

Banquet Decorations - share ideas for table favors and decorations for Banquet and set up most of the day Saturday for the banquet approximately 10-2pm for set up times.

Fine Arts/Brown Bag - solicit donations for both of these auctions, make display/auction cards, accept donations before and during the show. Must be available on Thursday to receive donations in specified room during a specified time. Your committee would also set up and run the auction on Friday.

Regional Club Basket Ticket Sales - we need a person/persons who are willing to make their way through the crowds ringside to sell tickets each day for the club baskets in hospitality. You can still watch the show while you sell :)

Registration CO CHAIR NEEDED Chair is Barbara Finch: Barbara will order all items for bags, solicit volunteers and take care of arranging for the stuffing of all the bags and delivering them to the show site. We need a reliable and organized person to be there to set up Registration on Sunday with Barbara or without depending on her flight schedule from her judging assignment. You would have to set up registration completely with yourself and your volunteers and get things started in the event Barbara doesn't make her flight. Also throughout the time leading up to the National assist Barbara in any way needed. This is a large job and requires many volunteers. The registration chair from the past 2 yrs has many notes for the new chair and will assist in any way possible.

Ring Hospitality - This committee would be in charge of making sure the judges have their ringside cooler, water, soda etc.. throughout the day. You would need to check in on the judges every hour approximately. This begins on the first day of obedience and continues through best of breed.

Top Twenty - This is a large event and will require many volunteers and many prep hours prior to the actual event. There have been several theme ideas tossed around. We are hoping a regional club or group is willing to take this task on - or two clubs together. The 2010 Top Twenty committee/chair is available to help you with any questions you may have. We also have many people who have offered to volunteer and several theme ideas if needed.

Please consider one of these tasks. If you don't feel as though you can chair the committee but would like to be a part of it please let us know that too. We need to get these committees formed and begin working on our National packet.

If you have ANY questions please email Amy Lane or Sandee Lovett. Thank you for volunteering.
