June Meeting Guest Speaker
Club member Teresa Brewer from Top Dog K9 Sports will be discussing K9
Nose Work at our June 14 membership meeting. She is currently enrolled in
the instructor certification course and is teaching a class at Alpha K9U in
Fishers.
What is K9 Nose Work? The activity and sport of K9 Nose Work® is designed
to develop your dog’s natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt
and their love of toys, food and exercise. It’s a great way for your dog to
have fun, build confidence, and burn lots of mental and physical energy. It
requires no special equipment, is open to all dogs, regardless of any handicap or behavior issues. Teresa plans to train her own dogs in this sport as
their agility careers wind down.
She has asked for 3-4 volunteers to bring their dogs as "demo dogs".
Please arrive promptly at 7:30! The membership meeting will end at
8:00 p.m. to allow Teresa adequate time for her presentation.
Upcoming Rally Classes
The next GLKC Rally class will be starting Monday June
18th. The beginning class covers all AKC Novice and APDT
Level 1 Signs.
If you are interested in taking beginning or advanced rally,
please let Kim (kmcmunn@comcast.net) or Janet
(aussieshepherd@frontier.com) know ASAP!
There need to be at least 3 teams enrolled in order to have the
class.

Thank You!!!
I want to thank all of the exhibitors and workers that participated in the GLKC agility trial over Memorial Day weekend. Despite the fact that we had record heat, fans and friendly temperments
kept the temperature bearable!
We are very fortunate to have such an active club. As I looked around at the workers over the
weekend, we had a lot of club members that had pitched in. Having been in the situation of being
a worker but not an entrant, I especially want to thank those members who volunteered their time,
despite not running a dog. We even had a member from Indy come to work without being entered.
Special thanks to the "key" people. They do an amazing job! I had very little to do this weekend
except enjoy because of their efficiency.
Our worker coordinator, Rosie Lerner, was always on top of things, even when we had some people pull from the trial and she had to find last minute replacements.
Hospitality co-chairs, Judy Oxley & Edie Lawson, with Grillmaster Dave Lawson provided wonderful
food both days. We have people fight to be workers just to get to eat their delicious goodies!
Deb Biesemeier and Melonie Boyll did a great job at the awards table, making sure workers got
their tickets, exhibitors got their ribbons, and in general just providing the exhibitors with appreciation for their attendance.
Jay Oxley at the score table. Boy do they get those results out quickly!
Chief Course Builder & husband extrodinaire, Lloyd Sollars and his crew were on it! Rapid & organized course changes as always.
You people are the glue that holds everything together. Thank you, thank you, thank you
And of course, all of the workers, from chute fluffer to scribe, YOU ROCK!!!! Without you, there
would be no trial.

A Doggone Great Vacation!
With three 70+pound dogs, we are always looking for dog-friendly places
to vacation with our family. Barkwell's pet-friendly cabins in Asheville, NC
has 7 cabins on an entirely fenced-in property with a lake. Each cabin is
made for owners and their dogs, including gated porches, dog doors, and a
fenced-in yard for each cabin. Brea really enjoyed skinny-dipping in the
lake and the boys ran to their hearts' content. Asheville is a great dogfriendly city with dog parks, lots of dog specialty shops, and many restaurants with sidewalk tables that permit dogs. We visited the Biltmore Estate
and took the dogs walking on the grounds. And you can make it there in
one day, avoiding the problem of staying overnight in a hotel. Check it out
at Barkwells.com!

Membership Meeting-May 10, 2012
May 10, 2012 Carry-In General Meeting Minutes
Meeting began at 7:45 p.m.
Motion made by Christie W. to approve the April 12, 2012 general meeting minutes.
Seconded. Approved.
Presidents Report:
Kurt and Stephanie D. will be retiring as Fall Show chairpersons after the 2012 Fall
Show. Club needs a new Fall Show chairperson. According to AKC rules, GLKC is an all
breed club and must host at least one conformation show a year. If club moves show
site to a different location, AKC must approve new site. Club could downsize conformation show, but there is still the cost of the judges, food, transportation, and other
expenses. Conformation show is always scheduled on the 42nd week of the year. GLKC
could possibly team up with another small club to help host the conformation show.
Organize a committee to get further details.
Program is scheduled for general meeting in June. The program will be on Nosework.
Vice-president: Not present
Recording secretary: No report
Corresponding secretary: No report
Treasurer: No report
Education Committee: No report
Equipment Committee: Still need volunteers for the May agility trial. See Rosie Lerner
or Karen Sollars to volunteer.
