We had a large turn-out of dogs in all levels. Our instructor, Cheryl Dondino, did a wonderful job working with the dogs and handlers, providing very useful suggestions, and keeping the event running on time. The seminar committee also did a great job providing the site, plenty of helpers, and great food. Thank you Cheryl Dondino, chairs Jen Larsen and Dawn Druge, BBQ cook Kevin Gallagher, and everyone else who participated! The early Summer Water Test, which was scheduled at Folsom Lake for July 22-23, has been canceled. There were still too many uncertainties concerning the high lake level (e.g. no beach) and the large amounts of debris. Hopefully these issues will be resolved so that water training can resume and the September Water Test (September 9-10) can take place. Check the website or the Newfs Paper for updates. Concerning the September Water Test, please contact Lori Littleford (Chair) if you want to help, or contact John Pearson (Chief Steward) if you are interested in stewarding. So far, water training has been very limited due to the debris in Folsom Lake and worries about blue green algae at Lake Del Valle. However, some folks have been training at Lake Berryessa. For updated information on Folsom & Berryessa, contact Cathy Sayer. For updated information on Lake Del Valle, contact John Pearson. As I write this article, I am looking forward to the

We have used this park very successfully several times now. Being right on the bay, the weather has been great!

Attention volunteers! We still need help with the Regional Specialty Show and Trials! Very few are confirmed to assist and I need more help. Ring stewards (conformation), assistant grounds/equipment, judges hospitality and airport transfers, and fundraising are just a few of the diverse jobs available. Please let me know how you can help- what are your special talents? Thank you. Kathy Bracisco 2017 NCNC Regional Specialty Chair Email: srengrtech@hotmail.com
Stewards Needed for September Water Test We will need a large group of stewards for the September Water Test, which is scheduled for September 9 & 10, 2017, at Folsom Lake. Of course, experienced stewards are very welcome, but you need not have any previous experience to help! New people will be teamed with experienced people. Stewarding is a great way for new people to learn about water work, and stewarding is also the best seat in the house! If you are interested in stewarding, please contact John Pearson (waterdog@ix.netcom.com) and tell me a little about yourself (e.g. any previous experience, or not; any preferences for assignments; have you called for any dogs this year in practice; are you planning to also enter a dog?). John Pearson, Chief Steward
If you hear of an event or situation you feel would be a good candidate for special attention or card, please contact the Sunshine Committee Chair Janet Heym. JanetHeym@comcast.net or 925.420.6501. Please let me know any updates in your contact information, as well as any changes in your Newfoundlands (including earned titles!). Dick Heym Membership Chair membership@ncnc.org
