Well, we've just finished up the supported weekend at the Turkey Cluster and, by all accounts, it was our most successful ever. The entries were phenomenal, the prizes were well received, and we had record numbers of folks turn out for the lunch and auction. A small army made this weekend so successful and deserve kudos.

Cheryl Beach was our match chair and pulled together a very fun event with help from husband Buzz, Dawn Buttion, and Sandy Bulger. It was great to see all those puppies and veterans warming up for the supported. Deb Brady was my co-chair for the main event on Saturday and calmly and quietly kept me sane by seeing to it that all the bases were covered. Big thanks to Linda Reynolds for stepping in as Hospitality Chair; once again, we got compliments on the "spread". Tina Borden with help from Eric Hedrick and Colin Archambeault saw to it that everyone got their trophies and prizes. (editor's note: Thanks go to our individual trophy sponsors, Jane Boraczek and Cliff Williams for providing historic FCR prints, cuddly ducks and tennis balls for our competitors) Jeanne Lin and Bernie Strozeski helped to take cash and settle up the auction. And the ones who always get forgotten at these events...Richard Street and Cliff Williams helped to take care of everything that Deb and I needed to have happen.

After every CRFCRC event I am heartened by the generosity and dedication of our membership...so, you would think that it would be hard to floor me. But I have to say that the donations of food and auction items as well as the generous bidding this year has me awestruck. We had a record number of auction/raffle items donated and record earnings from that part of the event. This would not have happened without the tremendous philanthropy of our club members and I can not thank you all enough.

The show results follow. Congratulations to all the winners and to the dogs that finished the championships at the event!!
