WDC AWARDS
It's that time of year again...
time to recognize you and your dogs
for all of the hard work you put in over
the past year!!!! Annually WDC as a
club recognizes AKC titles earned
during the year and submitted by club
members in good standing at its
Annual Awards and Appreciation
Dinner. So dig out the information
requested and submit it as instructed
-- you both deserve it!!!
For those of you who
received award plaques last year you
will remember that the club initiated
the "perpetual award plaque" con-
cept. This means that dogs will
receive one (1) award plaque, howev-
er, titles earned will be added to this
plaque making it a "perpetual award
plaque" for you and your dog. This
means that dogs that received WDC
award plaques last year and have
earned new titles this year will need
to submit the plaque so that the addi-
tional titles can be added accordingly.
The WDC Award Box is where all
plaques should be submitted and it
will be located in the club office from
Saturday, November 1, 2008 through
Thursday, January 8, 2009.
Please note that this is a
change in how the awards have been
done in the past and the above infor-
mation is included within the awards
instructions as well. Please if you
have any questions don't hesitate to
contact me by email at
jps@new.rr.com or phone 920 720
0701 ... sooner rather than later.....
Thank you…
Julie Siefert,
Awards Chairperson
FROM THE PRESIDENT
It is that time of the
year to count your
blessings and to give
thanks. This past year I
have been blessed by
being surrounded by
many hard working peo-
ple and to thank them.
I would like to thank
Jamie Gloede and Angela Schmidt for
page 4
all the work that they have done on
advertising for the past few years. It
was much appreciated and you both
will be missed.
I would like to give a big
thanks to Renee Hoelzel who has
helped me so much for doing any-
thing that I needed to have done on
the computer.
I also would like to thank Eric
Hoelzel for donating a small snow
blower to the dog club. It works great
around the doors to get into the build-
ing.
I’ll give a big thank you to
Laurel Stone for setting up and our
new website. It is really great!!! If you
haven’t taken a look at it-please do!!!!
We have Adam Zschaechner
who has stepped up and has done a
fantastic job on organizing our cages
so we can find what we need when
we need it. It looks great!!!
Thank you to all of our com-
mittee chairpersons and our training
staff who are instrumental in keeping
the club running smoothly.
I know there are other
unsung heroes that need to be
thanked and this is for them. They
aren’t in charge of anything, but they
lend a hand at those critical moments
when things need to get done. The
club could not function without them.
Hope everyone has a great
Christmas and an even better New
Year!!!!!
Thanks Again,
Don “Stan” Stanislawski
FROM DEB ZIERLER
As new director of the obedi-
ence program, I will be using a core
group of instructors to design a pro-
gram using lots of "old stuff" that
worked well in the past and some
new stuff as well. The program will be
separated into a Practical Pet and a
Performance Pet program, with Judy
Rathbun designing the Performance
Pet. We need YOUR input to make
our classes successful! There is a
huge need for Puppy K instructors
and helpers! A meeting for all inter-
ested trainers and helpers will be
held on Thursday, January 8 at 5:30.
Please come out and give us your
ideas!
WE NEED MEMBERS TO
VOLUNTEER TO TRAIN OUR
CLASSES!!!
For years
our classes has
kept our club sol-
vent. With out
them we wouldn’t
have the training
center and the
yards for the dogs
to play in.
It is imperative that we keep our
classes going to support our club and
for this we need trainers. We need
back trainers who have trained in the
past and people who are interested in
training in the future.
What does it take to be a
trainer? First we state the obvious.
Our love of dogs. Some knowledge of
how to train a dog (been through
classes already-either at WDC or else
where) and a willingness to share that
with total strangers who know nothing
but want to learn. You will spend
hours away from your family with
friends who have the same dedica-
tion. The fact remains that without our
class revenue we as a club stand to
loose everything that you see on
Manitowoc Road.
You really do get satisfaction
from helping people train and under-
stand their dogs and leaving your
class with a pet and companion.
Right now we could use more volun-
teers for our puppy classes. If you are
unsure, observe a class from the
point of view of a trainer and then
decide. If you have been a trainer and
aren’t satisfied with the classes, work
to change them, don’t just abandon
them. Thank you all for your help. The
WDC is counting on YOU.
