- The Alexandria VA Scottish Walk on December 7 went very well with several members and Cairn terrier friends to the Club attending. A special thanks to Patti Gaston for organizing the event. Claudia Gerbert’s Cairn, Gundi, performed for the crowd by jumping through a hula hoop. The crowd cheered the pair throughout the parade route.
- A General meeting was held at the restaurant after the Scottish Walk. Lois Cleland discussed with the group the opportunity to change the November Supported Entry weekend to the VA Terrier Club weekend, the 1st weekend of the month in Doswell, VA. On the Saturday, two complete shows are offered, and one show on Sunday. Few handlers come to the show weekend. Barbara Kornylo will be the liason for the Club with the VA Terrier Club. The Club decided to have a Supported Entry for both shows on Saturday and a Sweepstakes in the afternoon show. The four Board members, Cleland, Kornylo, Sowards and Argentine voted for the change.
- Merril Schmitt decided to withdraw her name as our Sweepstakes judge this April 2025. The Club Secretary contacted Tammy Erickson and she graciously agreed to judge Sweepstakes.
