President’s Message . . .
The CCA has been moving ahead at a steady pace, making progress in several areas. The Board and the Committees are working together to bring our club to the level of functionality that it deserves.
The Constitution Committee has received the letter of affirmation from the NYS attorney and AKC has what will hopefully be going to the membership by October, once they approve it. We have sent to you the recommendations for the layout of the districts under the realignment. This will be voted on at the meeting.
Contingency plans are being made to accommodate the 2021 National Specialty Show. When the NSC has vetted them, they will submit all possible options to the Board for consideration.
Committee members have been submitted by the Chairs and I am presenting them for approval, we will be voting on them at the meeting. Please contact your DD with your input.
Respectfully submitted,
Annette Rawlings, President
Collie Club of America
Secretary's Message . . .
Attention District Directors: You will be receiving a new list of your member's information. Please review and let Membership Co-Chair, Judy Guthrie know if you have been notified of any changes. Dues renewal for 2021 will be mailed sometime between the middle to the end of October. Having correct member information is essential for all members to receive and renew their membership on time. Also, upon receipt of your new list, please take the opportunity to check on our senior CCA members.
Bulletin Editors and Staff would appreciate if you would check with your members to see if they have received the beautiful Summer 2020 issue. Sending a reminder to your members several times during the year of "Have you changed any of your contact information" will assists us in keeping the CCA database current. All CCA publications are sent to the membership using the mailing list generated by the CCA database. DDs with your assistance on updating information, you will certainly help the CCA financially and our members receive their Bulletins and Yearbook. I have received several new changes of address cards on members from the US Post Office as they do not forward the Bulletin or Yearbook mailings because they are sent out Media Mail and not First Class. We are paying for the change of address but are loosing the issue of the Bulletin. Please assist us in our mailing costs but let me reiterate we want to make sure our members are receiving their publications.
You will be advised as soon as we receive approval from AKC on the submission of the Constitution and By-Laws. Along with direction to be taken for CCA 2021 and the standing for that particular National show.
Hopefully soon we will be over the summer months and cool days will be coming our way. Know many of you are adjusting to the new restrictions for dogs shows set by the AKC and the area shows. Please be careful and stay safe and well.

NOTE: Since the Ballot was presented, the President has contacted those submitting the 2020 bid for Springfield and found they had already released all the dates with the presented showsite and hotel. Therefore, Syracuse has the bid for 2020. However we have requested of them to submit another bid for expenses and income proposed for 2020 since they had agreed to a four day conformation rather than the five day that was originally proposed. Hence, the need for anew clarification of the expense and income statement of the proposal. This will be voted on by the Board.
