May Communique'

President’s Message . . .

I hope this finds you all well. I am looking forward to working with everyone for the next couple of years and moving the club forward—keeping in mind, always for the good of the Collie and the club.

The Constitution Committee has made great progress and will be presenting the Board with a final draft for review very soon. A huge, "Thank you" to that committee for their dedication to the process.

I have included in this Communique' a schedule of meetings and my Committee Chairs. I have added three committees: 1) the Realignment Committee—as we need this to review the previous one approved as membership numbers have changed in 4 years, 2) a Breed Historian Committee—this committee will publish articles pertaining to breed history events, dogs, people etc. and they will be published in the Bulletin, also, 3) an IT Committee—this committee will be an umbrella committee, under it will be: Online Storage with Laura DeLaurentis, Website with Gary Jordan/Lori Montero as Liaison, Groups.io with Larry Parsons, and One-stop Shopping with the National Specialty Merchandise Chair.

The Bulletin Editor is something I started working on months ago. This is not an easy job and it did take some leg work. Although we did not have a Spring issue, I was determined. We have some very generous people in this club that are willing to take on some very big jobs. For that I am grateful. In searching for prospects, I spoke with the previous Editors Sue Webber and Karen Soeder and they agreed to guide a new Editor. Lenise Adams and Chelsea Bloomberg both showed interest in the position. Karen and Sue agreed that we should have a Summer issue and are graciously putting it together with Lenise and Chelsea learning the ropes. I am glad to say that Lenise has agreed to take on the Editor position. Chelsea will contribute as a member of the committee. While working on the Summer issue, Lenise is considering her co-editor and members.

I did not see the point in cluttering this Communique' with bios for everyone on an established committee if they have served for at least a couple of years. New Chairs and members of committee's bios will be forthcoming if not in this Communique'. I will have them out to you all in a President's Message through Collie Club of America NEWS—our online newsletter.

Should anyone wish to contact me, for any reason, please feel free to do so. I will be communicating with the Board and the membership on a regular basis.
