Beth Greenaway Says
Thank You

I am very Blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group of people in the GLBTC. I am forever grateful to all who donated
to help with Fizz's "Cuz ball" surgery!
The card was so genuine, Brenda. You are a Sweetheart! Fizz and I hold a very special place in our hearts for all of you because without our Border friends, life wouldn't be the same. Thank You all again SO MUCH!
Beth & Fizz

Over thirty club members enjoyed a wonderful holiday get together at the home of  Nancy Hughes on December 13 in West Chicago, IL. Many members learned what their borders really think by visiting with Jan Gilligan, Animal Communicator.  Wetnoze Photography captured expert portraits of many BT's and their owners.  Other activities included BT's bobbing for hotdogs, a game of "Do You Know Your Dog?" and a fundraising raffle, which earned the club over $150.  Another delicious potluck was enjoyed by all! A special thank you to party organizers Justine Erickson and Tisha Teeluck, as well as Nancy Hughes, for generously opening up her home to the GLBTC.  One highlight of the party was the presentation of a check for over $1000 donated by club members to help Beth Greenaway pay for Fizz's very costly emergency surgery.  (See Beth's thank you, left.)

2012 National Specialty Message from Laurale Stern, Chair: 

    We have received a couple of requests to offer tracking at our 2012 specialty. We would love to do so and think that there is a nearby club where it could be held. What we need is someone to come forward and offer to chair this event. If we get such an offer, we will add tracking as another event for our specialty. Please let me know if you would be willing to take on this position I can be reached at my new email address: johnlauralestern@yahoo.com
