Demonstrate an activity
Tell people about our club, especially the money we donate to dog charities.
Hand out Judging Schedules for the next weekend’s dog show.
Welcome 3 new members: Alan McKinnon, Esther Shrader, Rosemary Abel! We look forward to getting to know you better!
Strap in! This is the busiest time of year for Moore County Kennel Club — and this club needs you!! As President Jane said, during her President’s address, there are opportunities to volunteer in April, May and June.
Let’s all get off the Porch and Volunteer – RUN WITH THE BIG DOGS.

The January Agility Trials were the most successful in the club’s history. A big thank you to the committee: Sandy Fischer, Karen Wlodarski, Sherry Holm, Sara Peterson and Ursula Walsh. The comparisons versus other events are detailed below. This was the first event at the new location, Rising Star. And the other marked difference was […]

January’s Meeting was PACKED. Happy New Year. We talked a lot about the upcoming dog show and the need for volunteers. NINE applicants were read in. And we have two new members, as well as an Honorary Member. Read on.
January’s Board Meeting had a lot of discussion about the Dog Show, but there were also decisions made in relationship to the Membership, and an exciting announcement about our donation to the Sheriff’s Department.
In this month’s Obedience Corner, Baby Justice learns that the reward comes to those that wait. “Stay” is thought incorrectly by some to be a passive command. In reality,
it is an active command – where the dog must actively remember to staying. Opposition Reflex means that we teach the dog to stay in position while we apply leash pressure to pull them out of the the position we asked them to stay. And the Cookie Slide Game just adds some additional heat.
With Justice, the criteria is that he not only STAY, but he also needs to focus.
For those to whom so much is given, much is required. Click here to review giving update since 2010.
Betty reported our December 2022 net balance is $75,961.12 (compared to $82,649.65 in December 2021). Overall, our charitable expenditures accounted for approximately $4,200 of that difference – in 2021 we donated $16,200 to charity, versus $20,498 in 2022. Betty’s recommendations for 2023 donation can be found on the MCKC Charitable Contributions Report (1/1/10-2022).
Please join us for the January 11th meeting. General Membership will meet at 6 PM at Table on the Green Restaurant. The Board Only Meeting will be at 5 PM.
Our Membership really does know how to party!! The Club celebrated in December at Table on the Green with a special Holiday party, organized by Mrs. Lisa “Christmas Elf” Schrank. The menu was wonderful. The company was even better. And we all enjoyed gifts and fellowship. Thank you Lisa, for always coming through with the […]
