Treasurer Report
The first quarter financial statements dated 11/30/08 for FYE 8/31/09 are attached.
At the end of December 2008, the bank balances totaled $80,116.22 (regular checking $46,305.40, specialty $10,722.12, Paypal $8,678.98, and Money Market $14,409.72). During December we had income from membership/quarterly of $2,415, interest income of $2.20, awards expense of $39, AKC delegate expense of $822.49, Secretary expense of $69.01 and Paypal charges of $34.90. The net specialty expenses were $3,276.61.
The 2008 specialty income to date is $5,854.71. The final figure should be higher because of adjustment for the ribbon inventory purchased for 2009, a pending payment for trophies from the Gold Coast club, and post specialty DVD sales. The final figure should be lower because the total to date contains the proceeds of the Kelly Rae quilt fundraiser for the Quarterly.

Vice President Report
December has been a busy month for all of us. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Years. For the month of December, there were motions brought before the board regarding the Juniors Committee. With those motions approved, the Juniors Committee was terminated as of December 31, 2008. The board has now put together an Advisory Team for the Juniors Program that will be working under the Awards Committee. At this time this team will be working on all the points for 2008 and making sure that all ACDCA junior members will get all of their points for that year. They will also be working on revising the guidelines for the rest of this year and then developing new permanent guidelines to put before the membership to be approved at the 2008 annual meeting. This team is also going to be tabulating the points for 2009 starting with January 1st. So ACDCA Juniors and parents of these juniors please be keeping up with these and we will keep you posted on where to be sending those.

Please see monthly committee reports listed below.

Sincerely,
Serenity Littlefield
ACDCA Vice President

SC Director Report
I am setting up an email list for members in this area, thanks to KBB for breaking down the members!

Texas members are hard at work nailing down specifics for the 2009 Specialty.
Meetings will be held at the Houston Cluster in July for a final check list.

Respectfully,

Lori Graham

SE Director Report
Greetings,
Winter is here and the Southeast has not been spared the freezing temperatures. Living in Florida you expect mild winters because our summers can be so brutal. Well, this year has shown me what the northern states have to endure. Burrrrrrrrr!
An update this week is that a Juniors Advisory Team has been formed to continue with the juniors program. Thank you Suzi Ironmonger, Rita Favearu, Steve Ware, and Deb Mintzer for volunteering.
I was pleased and honored to attend the first Mid-Florida ACD Fanciers Regional Specialty in Brooksville on January 18, 2009. It was held on the last day of the ever-popular Florida Winter Circuit, which commenced this year on January 2nd and ran through the 18th.
The day began with Obedience Trial Classes and then Rally, judged by Mr. Jeffrey Kern. Best Obedience Novice Class B score went to Angells Work N Class Kid, owned by Diane Thompson and bred by Serissa Angell. Best Obedience Open Class B score went to Angells Pac N A Kiss T’Go CDX, owned by Diane Thompson and bred by Serissa Angell & Cynthia Humphrey. Best Rally Novice Class B score went to Taylryder Fifth Element Dinkidi, owned by Dawn & Dale Ellis & Debra Mintzer and bred by Debra & Brian Mintzer. Best Rally Advanced Class B score went to CH Ringside’s Diggina Sandhill NF CD RE NA NAJ, owned by Judy L Rohr & Linda Bernard and bred by Pat & Jerry Leach. Best Rally Excellent Class B also went to CH Ringside’s Diggina Sandhill NF CD RE NA NAJ, owned by Judy L Rohr & Linda Bernard and bred by Pat & Jerry Leach.
Then onto Sweepstakes, judged by Mr. John Roberts. Best Veteran Sweepstakes and Grand Sweepstakes Winner went to CH Hilltops Living Tradition II, owned by Keith & Margaret Wheeler and bred by Laura Pyles & Sharon Lynn. Best Puppy Sweepstakes Winner went to Taylryder Reckless Driving, owned by Debra Mintzer & Coral Knight and bred by Brian & Debra Mintzer. Best Junior Sweepstakes Winner went to Call Me Justa Real Havana, owned and bred by Cynthia Humphrey.
Next came Regular Classes, Veteran Classes, and Best of Breed Competition, judged by Mrs. Sulie Greendale-Paveza. Best of Breed went to Austmans Ground Control, owned by Lin Allen and bred by Miss K. Jebson. Best of Opposite Sex went to CH Buzzards Experanzos Duramax, owned by Jan Lewis and bred by Jim Buzzard and Theresa Buzzard Couch. Best of Winners and Winners Bitch went to Call Me Justa Real Havana, owned and bred by Cynthia Humphrey. Winners Dog went to Buzzards Dux Cock Of The Walk, owned by Jan & Jeff Lewis and bred by Jim Buzzard & Theresa Buzzard Couch & Colston Couch.
If there are any errors in the above listings or results, please except my apology in advance for any unintentional mistakes. For a complete list of all entries in every venue you can go to www.midfloridaacd.com and click on the AKC events button and view them all.
I would again like to say congratulations to all the winners and exhibitors. Everyone worked so hard and did such a great job that I can’t wait for Mid-Florida’s next Regional. Thank you all so much for such a fun time.
Until next time,
Pam Mansfield
SE Regional Director

NC Director Report

I have set up a Yahoo email list specifically for members in the North Central region. We are having difficulties getting some individuals subscribed but will press on with the tenacity typical of our breed to get all those in the region signed up.

Following the recent Board action regarding the juniors committee I sent an email out to all members of my region. I received numerous responses (thank you all) and now have an accounting of kids in my
area for the newly formed Junior Advisory Team. This vital information will be passed along to the team.

There are lots of whispers going around about the supported entry in Michigan coming up in May. I certainly hope that all who plan to come are going to make the trip!

Respectfully submitted,
Katherine Buetow Branson
ACDCA North Central Regional Director

NW Director Report

I have set up a yahoo group email list for Northwest regional members. If you missed my notice and invite to this group for NW members of the ACDCA and would like an invite please let me know, so far a little over half the members in our region have joined. It will be a fairly quite list, but the place that I will be asking questions of you, and where people in this region can bring up ideas, and have discussions about club business.
Cascade ACD Club just finished their regional specialty, in spite of lower than normal entries the show was a big success.

Congratulations to all who attended and thank you to Michelle Pardee for once again chairing the show. Michelle has been thrown into the trenches of show chair and seems to be
able to quickly fix any problems that arise. Thank you Michelle!

That's about all the news I have for now. Look for updates on our herding trials and July regional specialty soon.
