HOLIDAY PARTY

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 festivities!

Thank You Karen

Moore County Kennel Club has been blessed to have Member Karen Wlodarski as our Agility Trials Secretary for MANY years. Karen has let us know that she will be relocating to the West Coast next summer. “It has been a pleasure working with Sandy, Betty, and all of the MCKC club members on your agility trials these past years. I will miss everyone and wish you all the best for continued success and growth in the future – Sincerely, Karen”

Thank YOU Karen, and enjoy the next chapter of your life.

January Guest Speaker

January 11, 2023 Meeting

Cara Achterberg will be making a tour of NC shelters in January.  She has been doing this for the past 5 years to show people the tragedy of unwanted dog (and cats) in the South.  Her visit to Moore County will coincide with our January 11th meeting.  She will give us a brief talk on what she has been doing to “get the word out” about this terrible crisis.
