The Del Valle group is still awaiting approval from the park because the lake had some blue-green algae during the off-season. Although no toxins are being detected at Del Valle and people are now allowed to swim, the park has not yet allowed dogs in the water. We are monitoring the status, and we will let you know when training commences. Also, the NCNC Working Dog Committee has planned a Water Work Seminar at Folsom Lake on Saturday, June 4, and Water Tests for July 23 & 24. Contacts for these activities are Cathy Sayre & Carol Chew. The seminar and tests at Folsom last year were all very successful & a lot of fun. The seminar RSVP form is available on the NCNC website, and more information will become available on the water tests soon. NCA National Specialty Gleneden Beach, Oregon Contact: Kevin Gallagher Board of Directors PRESIDENT John Pearson waterdog@ix.netcom.com VICE PRESIDENT Kevin Gallagher kevaura@gmail.com CORRESPONDING SECRETARY/ EDUCATION CHAIR Lynne Baker Noofmom@aol.com RECORDING SECRETARY Cathy Sayre bensayre1@att.net TREASURER Lori and I took our two Newfs, Ready & Rose, back to Warwick, Rhode Island, for the 2016 NCA National Specialty. We had a wonderful time visiting with friends we see only occasionally, participating in events, and enjoying the dogs. We enjoyed watching local dog Dexter (Joyce Taylor) strut his stuff at the Top Twenty Showcase. We had some modest success, ourselves, representing Northern California Newfs. Ready earned his CDX title with a first place qualifying score in Open A obedience, and he also won the Versatility (VN) class in conformation. Rose took second place in the 8-9 year old veteran bitch class in sweepstakes. In Warwick, Kevin Gallagher (NCNC) and Chris Lyden (NCS), presented a very effective invitation to the 2017 NCA National Specialty, which will be held at the Salishan Spa and Golf Resort in Gleneden Beach on the Oregon coast. Backed up by a short video, large signs, participant bags, a raffle, and numerous members of the show committee sporting matching shirts, Kevin & Chris (co-chairs) succeeded in generating much enthusiasm at the Saturday evening reception. A website is now available for the 2017 show. (You can access it through the National
