2 From your new President First I want to say a very big Thank you to our outgoing president Nancy Light, she has done an outstanding job for many years now, always keeping things moving, when nobody wanting to take on the role of President. I am pleased too, that most of the Board members will remain on the board, thank you to Susan Babich s work on the board and welcome to Marion Tillman for joining us. I will certainly try to do my best to navigate us through 2017 with the help of all the board members, and hope we will resolve our ongoing problem with finding a suitable location for our annual Specialty Show. One of my goals for 2017 will be a Membership Drive; if we don t get more members, there will be no EGRC 10 years from now. Most of us are greying and are not as energetic as we used to be. So getting younger members would be great too. So lots to think about for 2017! Hope to see you all at our Holiday Party! From EGRC Specialty Chair Sheila Colyer Iturriaga: We thought we had found a home for the EGRC specialty with the Sammamish Kennel Club. But as you may have heard, Whidbey Island Kennel Club denied Sammamish s request to hold the show within the Whidbey Island area as designated by AKC. The issue is still being discussed so there is no final resolution but there is no guarantee that Sammamish will hold their show in Because of this uncertainty, it is not in EGRC s best interest to plan and contract with judges for the Sammamish weekend. I revisited the other site options from the previous surveys and discussed these with the board. The decision was made to hold the show in conjunction with the Olympic Kennel Club show. I have been in contact with Tim Ufkes, show chair for Olympic, and she has communicated that they are very excited to have us join them. The date is August 18, There will be more details coming soon including the judges. If you are interested in volunteering to help, please drop me a note. Letme know if you have any questions.

13 Evergreen Golden Retriever Club 2016 Awards Criteria AM/CAN CH SWEETGOLD S WINNERS CIRCLE Breeder/Owner/Handler Trophy (Donated by Richard & Kym Anton) This trophy will be awarded to honor the dedication and outstanding achievement of Breeders who solely handle their own dogs to an AKC Championship title By actively participating in Conformation competition, a Breeder gains a higher understanding of breed type, structure and movement as it relates to the AKC Golden Retriever Breed Standard; which translates to building a stronger breeding program. As the sole handler, the Breeder more fully appreciates the importance of training, conditioning, preparation & presentation An EGRC Full Member who has fulfilled the Club s trophy eligibility requirements may apply for this trophy in the year an AKC CH title has been earned provided: he/she is the Breeder and Owner of a Golden Retriever which he/she has handled in at all shows where Championship points have been earned In the case of dogs Co-owned and/or Co-bred by non-members (or ineligible members); only the award applicant who is the actual handler of the dog, must be an EGRC Full Member meeting the trophy eligibility requirements Points may be accumulated in previous years; however the EGRC trophy eligibility requirements need only be met by the EGRC Full Member Breeder/Owner/Handler(s) in the year the Championship title is achieved This non-competitive challenge trophy may be awarded to multiple eligible EGRC members in the same year. In the event of multiple recipients, the names of each Breeder/Owner/Handler(s) and their dog will be engraved in chronological order of Championship Title achievement. Possession of the trophy will be shared equally between all recipients; for that year. This trophy can only be awarded once per dog. However, there is n limit to the number of times an eligible EGRC member can earn the trophy with various dogs qualifying in the same year. Since each EGRC member has multiple opportunities to receive this non-competitive award each year, it is intended that this trophy will remain in circulation and will not be eligible for retirement after three awards to the same recipient.

18 Evergreen Golden Retriever Club October General Membership and Annual Meeting Minutes Kirkland Library, Kirkland WA October 27, :30 pm CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by President Nancy Light at 7:35 p.m. Welcome to our guests and new members. MINUTES The minutes for the September meeting will be printed in the November GW and approved at the Dec meeting. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT: (Nancy): In lieu of a program, and after the election, we are going to focus on Specialty related issues. These include the Whidbey Island Kennel Club not accepting the Sammamish Kennel Club to be holding their August show on what would be an encroachment on the WIKC territory. That would not prohibit EGRC from having a specialty on Friday, and perhaps Saturday, but we would be on our own. In addition, the current chair, Sheila Colyer, has lost her employment and her presence in this area next summer could be in jeopardy. We will need to find at the least, a co-chair who can commit to being on show grounds. We are also being courted by OKC to return to their show for Friday, and perhaps Wednesday prior. Many moving parts and we need to discuss and see what folks are thinking about possibilities, such as a stand-alone Specialty at Argus, perhaps on one of the agility weekends.
