General Club Meetings

These usually take place once each month (July and August excepted) selected in order to avoid conflicts with major holidays and/or major local shows. 

In an effort to make meetings more interesting and non-intrusive regarding the dinner hour, the board decided to have meetings take place a people's home with a "pot luck" dinner activity.  Directions will be sent out each month with the host's address.  Also it will be possible to access maps to the current host, on this website. 

Our Next regular meeting:  Sunday, January 29,  12 PM -- 3 PM

LOCATION:   Deanne Ryan's House.  Click here for directions

PROGRAM:   General meeting and Election of 2012 Officers and Activities chairs -- Also preparations for our February 25/26 Obedience & Rally Trials.

We will meet this Sunday at 7:30 a.m. to track. We will start out from Einsteins located on Tatum N of the 101 in the Desert Ridge Marketplace. It is located at the NW end of the mall. If you are going down Tatum, look for In and Out, turn in there and head E until you see Einsteins. We will decide from there where we will track.
