It has been a goal of many to have BCSA eventually adopt the "roving specialty" method that most other parent clubs use, to most effectively bring the event to the widest number of people, create new challenges every year by changing venues, to spread the workload to different crews, and allow everyone in the country equal opportunity to both travel to new places and also sometimes enjoy having the event in their own backyard. For several years, the BCSA board has been willing to consider a proposal for a specialty held elsewhere than Purina Farms, and this year, a proposal presented by Lisa Pruka was approved, to host the specialty in Jefferson, Wisconsin in 2009.
   For those who have been hoping we'd change venues someday, here's your chance to help prove the concept is feasible, both financially and worker-wise. Lisa and her crew will need many volunteers, fundraising help, and trophy and other donations. Please give their team support in the coming year as they gear up for this first big move for BCSA.    ~ Michelle Olsen, President, BCSA
