OKC Howl-a-Dayz Bring on the BLING Member Appreciation and Awards Celebration 2017 Recap Wednesday, December 13 th, brought a festive group of OKC faithful to Primo's restaurant for this year's award and appreciation extravaganza. The theme this year was Bring on the Bling! and that we did Christmas accessories including hats, broaches, necklaces, earring, scarves, boots, shoes and sweaters were glamorously on display. We began the evening with a social hour followed by a lovely buffet meal. Once our bellies were nice and full the events of the evening began..first up. All attendees were challenged to guess how many candies were in the jar with the lucky winner receiving a spay / neuter gift certificate generously donated by Lakeside Animal Hospital. Next up.the not so mind boggling give-aways.. With a wide array of door prizes to select from those participants whose names were drawn got even luckier. One primary focus of the evening s get together was the annual presentation of the goblets for AKC titles earned. This year 72 AKC titles were earned by 29 dogs in 10 different event categories. The list of titlists is included here for review. Please do take a moment to congratulate these folks on their accomplishments.

A second focus of the evening is to appreciate the members and their families who diligently support the club and its functions in so many different ways (including but not limited to.the head honchos, organizers, supportive spouses, fearless competitors, trophy sponsors, worker bees, set-up and cleanup crews, and persistent meeting attendees). It can t be said enough. OKC would not be successful without YOUR time, talents, generosity, competiveness, and LOVE of dogs.. THANK YOU for making O.K.C. one of the BEST All-Breed Dog Club s around The Goblet Committee appreciated all of the members who made time in their busy holiday schedules to attend and spend an evening with friends, members, and dog lovers alike.and would also like to recognize that Holt's Jewelry in Neenah donated ALL of the engraving on the goblets for the FOURTH year in a row! Mark your calendars now..wednesday, December 12, 2018 for next year s event.by popular vote Howl-a-Dayz Bring on the BLING will return.as will the three little elves that work to pull it all together.. Friendly reminder -- it is not too early to submit applications NOW for next year's awards. Any AKC titles earned since September 1, 2017 are eligible for a goblet and presentation at the 2018 celebration. Why wait???? Submit your information now rather than trying to locate that certificate next fall? And no you won t be the first eager beaver..one title has already been submitted..just to make life easy, the 2018 Awards submission form is included in this newsletter and is posted to the website.. Congrats to all our 2017 titlists and much appreciation to the membership for work well done.. Paige, Julie, and Sue OKC Awards Committee
