Here are a few of the folks we need to thank for helping us pull together a very successful weekend for many - several new Champions were finished, new friendships made, old friendships renewed, amazing camaraderie among exhibitors and much, much more. Wanting to recognize the effort by many and if I have missed some, my apologies and that is sincere.

To Lynda Chase for coordinating so much and pulling together awards for four days of shows (ESAA included). Our table every day was BEAUTIFUL! Kudos to Lynda. Cheryl Pfeiffer graciously stepped in to run the tables since Lynda was busy at home with her 8 week old puppies. Cheryl saved me from myself, as I was supposed to do this. But, I learned to run the book while she worked with the ring stewards and all was good. It was fun too!

Shout out to Charles and Stephanie Reitz who did a phenomenal job of running a successful raffle and to ALL who donated items to help raise money for our club. Of course, River pulled the winning tickets and some folks (Hayley won the quilt) left pretty darn happy!!! [BTW, I did not win anything . . . que sera!]


While our banquet and seminar were not as highly attended as we desired, it all came together quite nicely. SHOUT OUT to Cheryl Pfeiffer for organizing, for purchasing decorations to make our tables festive and provide take home chatchakas for a lucky winner at each . . . Our serving team at the Greenville Convention Center did a wonderful job - the food was delicious, presentation elegant and service was outstanding - thanks to Magdy, Jack and Mildred!
And of course, our MC - Jim Pfeiffer who did a great job of introducing our speaker extraordinaire - Dr. B.J. Parsons. Despite the small gathering, there was much discussion along with Q & A. The presentation was informative and collegial and we thank you B.J.!

Thank you to our dog walkers who took more trips than can be counted out in the heat to relieve many beautiful setters - Rob McBride and Jim Pfeiffer

Thanks to all who participated in our club meeting (you can see Jim Pfeiffer is holding up his phone for those who were on Zoom!). We are excited about changes coming down the pike and SPOILER ALERT - Deb Hallock may be hosting another field day this Fall, due to popular demand. Our Secretary will be emailing out the meeting minutes.

BLUF is something I learned when working with military folks as a government contractor - Bottom Line Up Front - isn't this what it is all about? . . .
Thank you, thank you to all mentioned above, to all club members who donated to the raffle and the awards and for those I have inadvertently forgotten.
It was a GREAT SHOW!
FYI - Rob McBride was a roving photographer. We will provide a link to the many photos he captured soon and I will also likely be sharing some of the stories of our members from a very successful and FUN show!
Blessings!
