MEETINGS: We will hold our 2022 annual meeting on Monday, January 31, via Zoom. The board will meet at 7 p.m. The general meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. Members who did not receive Zoom details may contact President Sue Shaw.
SPECIALTIES & SUPPORTED SHOWS: For this fall’s Great Dane Club of America National Specialty raffle, we donated a very special basket designed for anyone who’s expecting a litter of Dane pups. Babies can be placed in this fleece-lined laundry basket whenever they need to come out of the whelping box, and we stocked the basket with a thermometer, infant scale, umbilical clamps, petroleum jelly, washable pads, and many other items. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the basket; special appreciation to Marcia Roddy for a great idea and great execution!
Our 2021 GDCNE fall specialties were held November 26 and 27, Thanksgiving weekend, during the cluster shows at the Big E fairgrounds in West Springfield, Mass. Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to our judges, chair Laurie Maulucci, and everyone who organized and staffed the shows. Complete results can be found at Infodog.com.
