Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club

Our holiday gathering will begin at 4:00 Saturday the 22^nd at the Quarles’ with appetizers as they arrive. We’ll break at 5:00 for our December meeting, and then get back to celebrating the holidays and an eventful club year. A potluck dinner and white elephant gift exchange will follow.

To participate in the gift exchange, bring a wrapped gift (under $20). To help organize the potluck, consider the following suggestions: appetizer (for last names A-E), Dessert (for last names F-H), side dish or salad (for last names I-L), or entree (for last names M-Z).

As we did last year, we’ll also be collecting donations for our local animal shelters. Your donations of blankets, towels, or other shelter needs are welcomed and appreciated.

Hope to see you there!

Just a note to “save the date.” On Thursday January 17th, following the TAO group show at the Rose City Cluster, we’ll be inviting our sweepstakes judge Sharon Fitzgerald (Sherwood, Oregon) and our regular class judge Jerry Howse (Berryville, Virginia), to a no-host dinner at Elmer’s in Delta Park, at 6:00 p.m.  We’ll send a reminder/RSVP notice out to members as the date gets closer, and personally invite exhibitors who might like to join us. We will invite our judges to share their impressions and we can all enjoy an evening of camaraderie before the Rose City weekend gets crazy.

We’ve just received notice from the AKC that Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club has successfully completed the Plan A match program and may now apply for licensed status. Congratulations to every member for your work on these matches, and thank you to every exhibitor who helped us make these matches a success!
