A. FUN DOG SHOW.
Mr. Wons spoke to Supreme Leather Restorers and they will do twelve leashes for
the dog show.
Ms Kane read a letter from the Humane Society thanking the City for their
contribution of cleaning supplies to the animal shelter.
Ms. Lomax asked the board for their approval on the trophies that she ordered. She
stated that she put an announcement of the show in the news paper and sent out
letters to the people that attended last year. She would like these letters followed
up with a phone call. The phone numbers of last year's participants were
distributed among the members of the board who had the time to call.
There was still a need for gallon jugs to use for water for the dogs during the show.
The various needs for the show were discussed and handled by the board.
Ms. Lomax said that there was a couple of companies that had contacted her in
regards to wanting to set up tables and that maybe next year having a booth at
the show. One such person was a lady who wanted to give out fresh meat samples
for the dogs. Affer the board discussed the possible ramifications of this it was
agreed that Ms. Lomax should contact her to let her know that she would not be
able to come to the dog show with fresh meat. A suggestion was made that she
could however, bring coupons for the product.
Ms. Lomax wanted to open the floor up for any suggestion or new ideas for the
show. The suggestion was made to let the judges be in the middle of the room and
to have the dogs go around the judges. Mr Wons felt that maybe the judges would
fee{ safer against the wall. The suggestion was also made that there needs to be
an open walkway to the restrooms.
Ms. Lomax asked that if anyone had anything else to contribute to the dog show,
they need to get it to her by Wednesday, September 18, 1996 so she could have
all the prize bags prepared.
5. ADJOURNMENT.
A motion was made by Ms. Kane and seconded by Ms. Ruffner to adjourn
the meeting. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Respectfully submitted,
