CKCoJ President's Report by Kristy K. Totten for the Annual Meeting on October 13, 2024

It's been another very busy year with many new members and some exciting new activities. Lori Hoover and Donna Leigh taught several very successful and popular Puppy Kindergarten classes. We continue to have inquiries by people hoping to enroll in these. Thank you Lori and Donna for your commitment to promoting responsible dog ownership through your joyful and meaningful puppy classes! In August, Schery Umazor taught a fun Manners Class, which was very successful and she too is receiving inquiries to teach more classes.

In February, the club held UKC Obedience trials, Mari Meiners did an excellent job as Trial Chair, Thank you to all of these people for their tremendous volunteering time and efforts to make this a successful trial. Thank you also to everyone who volunteered as stewards or transporting equipment, and/or setting up and breaking it all back down.
