HELLO WAGGERS---
Tonight is the FIRST DOGLESS MEETING FOR WAGGERS DOG CLUB --- returning members do not need to come, but are welcome if they want to. It is primarily for introducing the brand new members to the club and what we do.
NEW MEMBERS:
When you come to your first club meeting, do NOT bring your dog. We will accept new members up until the May 10th club meeting, but honestly, they need to get to practice NOW, so if you have friends who are thinking about joining, please invite them to attend club at our regular times.
ENROLLMENT:
If you have not yet enrolled in 4-H, please do so ASAP. It is done online and there is no time like the present.
If you are not enrolled and have proof of current shot records you will not allowed to bring your dog until you do. (RULES)
VACCINATIONS:
I am attaching a vet form for you to take to get completed and show to Kathy Cornett (paperwork leader of the club).
You may show proof of vaccinations on other than this 2012 Vet Form only until April 19th at which time we should have EVERY MEMBER supplied a copy of the completed vet form to us. LET's get these done NOW!!
ACCOUNTABILITY:
There are going to be times when you won't be able to make a club meeting. All we ask, is that you LET US KNOW ASAP that you will not be there. We will actually have a calendar at the club for you to simply write your name on date you know you will not be at club.
MATERIALS/ PAPERS:
Because there are fewer lesson times before the county fair, we are going to have a lot more written materials, handouts, etc.
EACH OF YOU WILL RECEIVE A FOLDER TO KEEP YOUR PAPERS IN --- Treat it as a part of your Dog Bucket/Bag-- always with you, never lost.
In the middle of that pocket folder will be a page protector for you to slide in your vet form for safe keeping and easy access.
Here is the first link for you to print off and become familiar with. It called the "2012 State 4-H Dog Premium Pages --- it is THE rulebook for the Indiana State 4-H dog project, so it's important to know them. Not every item will apply to you personally, but by learning the rules you will better understand what the rules are, plus you will be prepared for the Top Dog Test U*-*U win/win
IF you have questions (and you probably will) just ask during club and we will all learn together. Once you learn these rules, they rarely change at all from year to year.
