Happy New Year!

I completely forgot about the year-end annual reports we’ve had for members the last few years, until I got one from Jo yesterday and it reminded me! Thanks Jo! In any event, now is the time to submit your annual reports for the WWWA website! Please send me a write-up of your activities and achievements...

Practice update

It’s come to my attention that I really messed up scheduling the October practices.  We will keep the 10 October (Sunday) practice as it doesn’t interfere with a trial or race meet.  However, the practice on Saturday the 23rd, is being rescheduled to Sunday the 31st. Please refer back to the Fall Practice Schedule post...

April 11 practice photos

For those of you who attended practice on April 11, I’ve uploaded the photos taken and generously supplied to the club by David LeBlanc. This was David’s first experience photographing dogs running the lure, and he got some really great shots! Many photos are out of focus or with the dog not centered in the...

April 11 practice update

We have a new field that we are going to try out for practices.  It is located about two miles south of the eastern edge of downtown Snohomish.  I’ve placed the Cascade Family Fliers link below.  Click on “location” for a very good map on how to get there.  There is signage at the turnoff...

Annual Member Report deadline

Just a reminder that the January 31 deadline for your annual reports is fast approaching. Please refer to the original announcement for more information about this feature.

2009 Dues

My apologies for posting this so late. I had intended to include this information in the Nov/Dec newsletter issue, and for various reasons, I’ve run very late on getting that issue out. I know some people have already paid their dues, so if you have already done so, feel free to ignore this. If you...

More updates…

Well the weather outside is frightful but luckily my power was only out overnight so I can spend the weekend inside, warm and cozy, working on the WWWA website! I upgraded WordPress itself as well as the website’s theme to their new versions, and both upgrades offer many enhancements. You’ll notice lots of new graphics...
