Appointment of Fundraising Chair
I have been involved with dogs all my life, which at this point is heading into the late thirty-somethings. Until BC's came into my life about 4 1/2 years ago, we were strictly a Labrador family. I grew up on a small ranch with horses, cattle, goats, sheep, geese, chickens, guinea fowl, and peacocks in addition to our wonderful Labs. I was active in gymkhana, halter and western pleasure with the horses and did some cutting work with them for fun also. Since my parents are wildlife biologists we also had a variety of wildlife living with us from time to time as well. We hunted our Labs in addition to enjoying them as our beloved family pets.
I currently own two BC's and one Lab. I have finished (owner/handled I am proud to say) my bitch, Skye, and have been showing her as a Special. I occasionally show other people's BC's for them for fun. I have bred and raised one litter of BC's from Skye after the appropriate health tests were completed. My other BC is one of Skye's pups from her first litter. There are alot of other dog activities I want to try in addition to conformation. I wish to get them herding instinct certified, try to put an obedience title on them and use them as therapy dogs. I am currently the Secretary for the Border Collie Club of Northern California and the Secretary for Border Collie Rescue of Northern California. I try to help at as many of our events as possible as I believe member participation is important for a club's health.
I am a Staff Services Analyst for the State of California's California Conservation Corps which is a work-learn program for youth ages 18-23. I am in the Recruitment Branch where I analyze attrition/retention trends vs. recruitment trends. I also research and implement marketing strategies in addition to managing a very large budget. I am married and have two sons ages 8 and 12. Due to the fact that both my children have Attention Deficit Disorder, I am very active in the School District's A.D.D. Parent's Support group and working with the school administrators and teachers to bring about a positive learning environment for these children.
Here are two ideas I thought of as possible fundraisers off the top of my head:
1. A virtual BC dog show. Virtual dog shows have become very popular in the last year or so. Having a a virtual BC show shouldn't be too difficult and not very costly if there is a member willing to run it with the computer expertise to put it on the web. It's easy for the people entering and could be alot of fun. I believe the UK BC club had a virtual dog show to raise money for canine health research and did fairly well.
2. A nationwide
walk-a-thon (with dogs of course), which I actually thought of as a rescue
fundraiser. This is something that would take quite a bit of coordination to
start off with, but could become an annual event. The Morris Animal Foundation
does one that makes quite a bit of money every year.
I also thought that the BC store was a great idea - especially putting it online
and getting as many links to it as you can. Jeanne Hagen-Santiago borderbrats@jps.net
