It’s that time of year again - time to plan the first quarter; time to vote in the new year’s board; and time to get our ducks, er, uh, Danes in a row! There is so much going on and we are excited to begin. Please join us this Saturday, January 30 at 2pm at the Beaverton Library Resource Center located at 12500 SW Allen Boulevard in Beaverton. This is the way to be heard and help be a part of making fun things happen.

Happy New Year, PDX Daners! Hope everyone had a fun and safe time and that
you’re all looking forward to 2010.

Annual Member Meeting & Voting for Board of Directors -

The board is currently looking at dates to schedule our annual member
meeting. There will be positions on the board available and we would love
and welcome your help. Remember, a lot can be done when we work together.
Contact me or another board member today if you have an interest in helping.
Feel free to consider job-sharing, too!

Positions expected to be available include: Secretary, Director of Finance,
and Director of Events.

Upcoming Events -

Sunday, 1/17/2010 - N Clackamas Park Romp, Milwaukie
Sunday, 1/24/2010 - Hazeldale Park Romp, Beaverton

There has been interest expressed in scheduling another snowshoeing
expedition. Watch the forum for details.

Also, although this is not a PDX Dane specific event, for anyone
interested, the Rose City Classic dog show is coming soon. The dates are
Wednesday, January 20 - Sunday, January 24. There will be a Great Dane
double specialty on Wednesday. According to those who have been before, this
is a great day to go and really see the Danes in the conformation ring and
talk to breeders, see a wide variety of colors, and is a relaxing atmosphere
for spectators. All four days following will include conformation, rally,
agility, and more for all breeds.
