Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club

Dear members: To celebrate our achievement of AKC licensing, and to give thanks for your work in making it happen, please join your fellow club members at the Highland Still House in Oregon City on Sunday, February 24, from 5-7:30pm. The Still House is a delightful recreation of a highland pub, with a cozy old-world atmosphere, two floors with mahogany woodwork, and antique furnishings from England and Scotland. Our gathering will be in the upstairs rooms. Dinner will be provided (for beverages you are on your own).

The Still House is located 201 South 2nd Street (at 99E), Oregon City, Oregon 97045. (503-723-6789) [map]. Additional parking is available immediately next door in the museum parking lot, on Tumwater Drive at 2nd.

Following four years of growth, sustained commitment, and a successful series of matches, the Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club has been licensed by the AKC to hold championship point events. This qualifies the club to hold a regional Cairn specialty. Club members are proud of their accomplishment and we are excited to begin planning our first event. We look forward to inviting Cairn exhibitors from around the country to enjoy relaxed camaraderie, friendly competition, and the spirit of the Northwest.

Our club will make grooming space available to all Cairn exhibitors showing at the Rose City cluster.  Space will be available on Wednesday afternoon through Monday, only $5/crate for the entire cluster (all five days).  We’ve requested the largest space available which is 15x30.  Those spaces are generally reserved for professional handlers and we’ve agreed to take the next smaller size if a large one isn’t available.  Stacked crates are still “crates” so if you have 2 crates stacked on top of one another, plan to pay $10, etc. The fee will not be prorated by day.

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!
