Welcome to Wisconsin River Chapter of NAVHDA!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

President's Message - 05/01/12

WRC NAVHDA Members:

May 19th & 20th are our first test days of the year.  They are currently 40% full.  Please contact Karla Nephew at krnephew@gmail.com if you are interested in testing with the WRC. Donna Cochenet has volunteered to coordinate this test for the Chapter.  Please contact Donna at djcochenet@juno.com, or any of the board members, if you are willing to help at the test. We need a number of people for each day, and no experience is necessary.  We will have a signup sheet at the May 12th Training Day.
If you would be willing to coordinate either the June or August test, please let us know.  It will be greatly appreciated.

Local WRC Membership is $30 for the calendar year.  Please mail your membership form and dues to Todd Fritz or bring it to the next training day.

Members are covered under the chapter’s training permit on scheduled training days.
If you are planning to train at the Mazo grounds at other times, please remember to
get your training permits from the DNR.  A link to the permit form can be found on WRC’s “Training” page under “Chapter Information.”

We are still looking for volunteers to fill the positions of Test Director and Training Director.  If you are able to volunteer as a coordinator for one test or training day, it would be greatly appreciated.  Please contact any of the board members to discuss how you can help.  Our club successfully functions only because of its volunteers.

The Chapter receives a limited number of Tri-Tronics Discount Certificates each year.  We will have only one for each test day (6 total for the entire year).  The Board has discussed the method for distribution of the discount certificates. They will be available first for those that participate in a test with the Chapter.  If there is more than one person that would like a certificate per test day, the recipient will be drawn randomly after scores have been read at the end of each test day. If at the end of the test weekend we have certificates left, we will again draw a random recipient from the members of the Chapter that have expressed interest.  We ask that if you request and  receive a certificate that you are prepared to purchase a collar in the short term since they will expire and will essentially be lost.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please contact any of the board members. I look forward to seeing you at the next training day.

Rob Wright
