WDC Use of Building Policy Recently, the Board was asked to clarify the Club’s policy on the use of the b uilding and the associated fees. Hence, the WDC Use of Building F ee Schedule was created to clarify and update the policy. All members still need to contact Stan prior to using the building to determine if the building is available and to get a key if necessary (including trainers who already may have keys). If a member u ses the building with a non-­‐member, it is the responsibility of the member to have the non-­‐member sign the waiver form (which is located in the office in the rack behind the d oor). Please put these waivers in the envelope with your fees. All members must sign up on the clip boards located on the bulletin boards in each room. Vacuum when you are done. No one should leave the building worse than the way they found it. Remember, it is a privilege to b e able to use such a nice facility to train our dogs. Reminder, use of the building is to be for training purposes. It is not an exercise yard. No fetch or ball retrieving should be d one in the building. Dress warm in winter and take this activity outside. Please see Page 6 for the WDC Use of Building F ee S chedule. May 2014 October 2013

WDC YARD PERMITS
A current Yard Permit is required to use the club’s front and back fenced yards. The permits change yearly.
ALL CLUB MEMBERS MUST HAVE NEW PERMITS BY MAY 1.
Please discard your old permit and place the new one in the clear plas c pocket hanger. Hang it from your rearview mirror while using the yard. If you bike or walk to the club, carry the permit with you.
Please keep the pocket hanger for future use. Household Memberships may have two FREE permits. Single memberships may have one FREE permit. Extra permits are $1 each, and extra plastic hangers are $2 each. If your permit is damaged or stolen, replacement permits can be obtained for a $3 fee ($1 for permit and $2 for hanger). If you get a new license plate number, you will need to get a new permit.
We need your help – please help enforce the yard-use policy! Look at the yard users’ cars to make sure a current yard permit is displayed. If someone using the yard doesn’t have a permit, please courteously ask them if they are WDC members. If they are not members, tell them the yards are for MEMBERS ONLY and tell them how they can become a WDC member. If someone is abusing the posted rules, give the license plate number and complaint to any board member or Linda Allen.
Feedback/concerns/suggestions … contact Linda Allen or any board member.
To obtain a yard permit, complete the application below and bring with you to the membership meeting, where Linda or Michael Allen will be on hand to distribute permits, or mail the completed application with a stamped, self-addressed #10 envelope to Linda at the address on the form.

May 2014 Page 8 Nancy Selgrad Speaker for the May 1, 2014 Monthly Membership Meeting Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) is singularly the most simple, effective, and safe healing modality in veterinary care to date; it is an affordable and non-­‐invasive healing technology that locates areas of the animal’s nervous system that have fallen out of communication, and re-­‐establishes neuronal communication and thus induces healing. VOM, combined with cold laser therapy, myo-­‐fascial release, and alpha-­‐sonic therapy, makes for a complete balance in the animal’s recovery process. Nancy has been a certified VOM practitioner for 9 years. Her interest began when her mare, Starlite, was VOMed. She had had a stroke as a yearling. Her legs and mind no longer were able to communicate. The vet said she would never be safe to ride. A VOM practitioner came to treat a different horse, and Nancy decided to have Starlite, now 4, VOMed. The process worked on Starlite. She went on to have a happy life; learning dressage, a little jumping, and teaching many people how to ride. She was the mother 4 foals and lived to 19 years of age. When Nancy’s children were out of the house, she decided she wanted a new career after 15 years as a horse and riding trainer and settled on being trained to do VOM. She has also been a breeder of Bichons for over 20 years. Outside her human family, animals are her passion, and she feels tremendously blessed to be able to help so many of our four-­‐legged friends. Learn more about Nancy and VOM at www.thevomlady.blogspot.com •
WINNEGAMIE DOG CLUB, INC. RULES FOR YARD USAGE One of the benefits of club membership is the use of the yard to run your dogs. Therefore, you must be an APPROVED CLUB MEMBER to enjoy it. •
To identify you to other club members, you MUST have a yard pass hanging from your vehicle’s rear view mirror. This can be obtained from WDC’s Yard Pass Chairperson after you are an approved member. If you walk or bicycle to the club, carry the yard pass with you. Club members who see a vehicle without a yard pass are instructed to call the Menasha Police Department. •
Picking up after your dog(s) is VERY IMPORTANT. As you’re doing so, don’t hesitate to pick up any that is m issed by someone else. Most likely you like how clean the yard is, and it can only be kept that way through a joint effort from all of us. •
If someone else is using the yard when you arrive, be sure to ASK PERMISSION to bring your dog(s) in. Not every dog wants playmates. •
If you are using the yard and choose to let your dog(s) play without new playmates, please be aware there is a 15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT from the time the next person arrives. If no one is waiting, feel free to use the yard as long as you like. •
For the safety of the dogs and people, please do not use LONG LINES on dogs and refrain from using PRONG COLLARS when dogs are playing with each other. •
If the training center is rented out for a day or weekend, the yard will be closed, since BUILDING RENTAL also INCLUDES the exclusive use of the YARD. Dates will be posted before the event in the newsletter and/or on the bulletin board by the yard. •
Occasionally the yard is SATURATED WITH WATER, and dogs running and playing will tear up the lawn and could become hurt. During these times (usually in the spring), the yard will be closed. It will be posted on the bulletin board near the entrance and on the website. •
By adhering to these rules, we can all be assured that the yard will continue to be a place where we can enjoy some active time with our best friends. October 2013
