Discussion on assigning board members to contact non-show members about
attending NCPC events. (3) Add a note in the dues notice to ask for
member feedback on events and help for future events. Jim and Susan will work on this before Susan
sends out the next dues notice.
(4) Received notice from Golden
Gate Kennel Club wanting to know if we will do a public education table again
this year ? Jim will give the information to Susan and she will confirm with
them.
Vice President: No Report
Past President: No Report
Recording Secretary: No Report
Corresponding
Secretary: (1) Received confirmation for our sweeps
judge for Nor-Cal Toy Fanciers show; it is Ron Steen. (2) Received letter from
Louise thanking us for inviting her to judge our sweeps at our October 2005
Specialty show. We also have a letter
from Donnelle ? Jim will publish them both in Pug Pen. (3)
She has the application to choose our judges from AKC for our 2006
Specialty in conjunction with the Del Valle shows. It should go to the next show chair.
Treasurer Report: Discussion on the emailed balance
sheet and profit and loss statement.
Bottom line is we have $8,696 in cash (excluding the KHR prize
fund). We are down $540 from last year
at this time. We have donated $6,500
this year for rescue and health fund.
As we are on a cash basis, Susan will send out dues notices in December,
but will not deposit the funds until January 2006.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Annual Awards: Awards dinner will be held March 18th at the
Wyndham Hotel in Pleasanton. We will
request the Skyline Dog Fanciers to put pugs on late on Sunday.
GGKC Bench Show: Donna had planned on doing a
three dimensional pug Buddha. So as not
to offend anyone, she has decided to do something different. She is also looking for a large Chinese gong
to use as a center piece.
Public Education: Susan will
be sending out an email to ask for volunteers to work the table at the Cow
Palace show.
Pugtacular: The first available date for the
Antioch location is December 9th.
Dennis Lauterbach wants to hold the date while he continues to look for
other locations that would allow an earlier event date. We are trying to space out our events more
from the rescue events. Another
possibility is to move Pugtacular to an earlier date in the summer in an air
conditioned facility.
Rescue: NCPC
donated $6,500 during the current year to rescue and health. We have about $800 available to disburse
before year-end. Moved by Susan and
seconded by Cynthia that we send $400 to Pros and $400 to Pug Savers. Unanimously approved. Susan will send the checks to Cynthia and
she will prepare letters to send with the checks.
Ways and Means: To help
space out events, it was decided to hold the fashion show every other
year. Cynthia would like to do the
chili cook-off in February.
Website: Discussion
on whether or not to put micro-chipping dogs on the website as a Public
Education item. Tattooing is another
option. Susan would also like to have
some information available at the Public Education table at GGKC.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Reimbursement Guidelines: Jim and Susan to finish refining the
proposed guidelines and get back to the board.
Drinks: There are quite a few soft drinks left over
from Pugtacular that are taking up valuable space in our storage. Motion by Susan and seconded by Bob that we
donate the drinks to a charity of Donna’s choice. Motion unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS
We need to assemble a
committee for nominating club officers for next year. Susan volunteered to chair the committee and will find two other
club members to work with her.
Next board meeting is a
conference call on January 10th; next general meeting is December 4th in conjunction with the San Mateo show. Motion to adjourn by Cynthia and seconded by
Bob. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joanne Clark
NCPC Recording Secretary
