First of all I want to wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year. It seems they come around much faster each year.

We have the Standard Revision still with the committee and as soon as it is completed by them, they will submit it to the Board and we will offer it to the membership for a vote. 

The Nationals will be here before we know it.

We need trophy donations and workers for the many activities scheduled - let me know where you can help out and any other suggestions of activities you would like for us to attempt to provide.

The Following activities are suggested for the weeks Agenda, changes may occur.

May 19, 2011 the ATFTC Regional Specialty –
(Hosted by Puget Sound Toy Fox Terrier Club)

As soon as the Premium List is ready, I will have John put it up on this website for your convince.

Briefly the Week Agenda will nearly be the same as last year.

We will be in the South Ball Room all week for all activities and Shows.
SUGGESTION: When making reservations, designate your requests for the South Rooms.
Also, this year there will be NO one time room charge,  it has been removed.
