Calling all Bernese Mountain Dogs and their families….

The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Alaska will be proudly walking in the 2012 Fur Rondy Grand Parade

“With Heroes Among Us We Celebrate Rondy”

5th Ave. & 6th Ave.
Saturday, Feb. 25th, 10:30am

We invite everyone with a Bernese Mountain Dog to join us for a walk downtown.  This is a great time to socialize with other Berner lovers as well as letting the dogs get to “strut their stuff” in front of the crowds.
If you have a Berner that can pull a cart… we’d love to have you “draft” with us.  Please note, this is just a bonus, carts are not mandatory

Please dress accordingly, have your Berner(s) on leash, bring a bag in case of a poop clean-up, some treats for your dogs and be ready to smile and wave   This is for the whole family — we love to have kids along!

Annual Meeting Announcement:

While in the staging area just prior the parade, we will hold a brief general membership meeting.  Updates on our recent “rescue” Berners will be available as well as 2012 BMDC of Alaska Specialty Shows and Draft Test announcements.

Election of the new 2012 board will also be held – please note the nominations below:
President: Tracy Corneliussen            Vice-President: Amy Johnson
Secretary: Anne Sundquist                Treasurer: Bob Schmidt
Board:  Barbe Welte, Bev Labani, Gary Lamar, Linda Klim, Lori Hyden

We are looking forward to an exciting new year – hope to see you there!!!
