No, the calendar isn’t old - it’s the Cairns! For our A/OA match we are offering a very special raffle - a beautiful handmade calendar honoring geriatric Cairns. Most of the images are local Cairns belonging to CRCTC members - but all of the Cairns are venerable companions and Cairns of distinction in their own right. Any Cairn lover would be touched by these artful hand-made calendar pages bearing the likeness of dogs who have themselves been touched with tincture of time.

Tickets are five dollars each and can be obtained from .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  The drawing will take place during our A/OA match on October 14th and you need not be present to win.

Update: Congratulations to raffle winner Vicky Montgomery!
