Committee Reports:

August Show 2004 -Bo:

We do not have a contract from Marymoor Park (King County) for the August show yet. We are working on it.

Had a meeting 14 April with Bob Young, Director of the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association about leasing part of the Muller Farm property (corner of Willows Road and 124th Street in Redmond) for our August show in 2005. Access to the fields is difficult, to say the least, at the moment. Bob Young said that it cold be improved for our show. Bob Young will discuss our proposal with the LWYSA board and get back to us as soon as possible. Sounded hopeful.

PVDF will host Agility with our August 2004 show. Sammamish Kennel Club will pay the AKC late application fee.

Bo suggested checking with AKC to see if they will approve a Sammamish Kennel Club show outside of our area. He suggested that a note be placed in the Premium Listing stating that the August show grounds have been improved since last year. Lastly, Bo asked that all committee chairs for the August 2004 show please update him on their progress. He is getting information together for the August Premium List.

August 2004 show activities: Friday evening Poodle club is sponsoring a match, Saturday there will be Working Group only conformation match and also WIOC tryout match. Need to get him a list of Special Events for Sunday.

Pat Wilaby: Trophies have been purchased for the August 2004 show. Specialty Club Questionnaires are coming in.
