We have been contacted by Barbara Stockard president of the
"Prairie Wind Sighthound Association" regarding a "Bark
in the Park"
event at Cico Park on May 11, 2002. I have informed them will are unable to participate
at this time but would like to next year. Barbara would like us to let her know
dates that would work for us next spring.
HDTC Meeting: General meetings will be held during the months of January, April, July, and
October and or November of 2002. These will be the (4) meetings the club voted to have. We will
more than likely have other meetings. As we still need to hold some
activities to earn money for the club if we wish to hold a show.
Training: Members are encouraged to participate in free, cooperative
group training . It was decided that on the second Saturday of each
month to get together and do agility and or obedience. Location is CiCo park, with other possible locations including
Salina, Abilene, and others. See schedule below for future training dates. All
ideas are encouraged to help make our group training useful to us all.
Future
Training Dates
Let us know what you want or need to work on
and we can arrange for it to happen on a training day.

Heartland Dog Training Club meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. Members in attendance
were: Rosalie Behnke, Ruth Ann Furze, Randy & Janet Griggs, Lori Neer, and

The minutes of the last meeting
were approved with a correction to the sentence: “Jeanne is also storing
obedience and utility equipment owned by the club at her home.” The

carried. Jeanne also mentioned she has the wheels that Julie Degen donated to
the club.

looking for anyone interested in hosting the meeting, and dates for the meeting.

picnic without our dogs and play games such as crocket or have our dogs with us.
