Help, Help!
Yes, the committee will need help with our upcoming fund-raising. The plan is to do as much as possible between now and Christmas so we’re not trying to juggle fund-raising and preparing for the show in the lead-up to May. Good plan? There’s one small catch -
we will need everybody’s help.
When the Newsletter contains details of barbeques or other fund-raising events (as this one does) and asks for helpers please be a volunteer. Even offering half a day of your time means that the committee members who were working at the last barbeque (and who will probably be working at the next one) might be able to have bit of time off. And we all need a bit of time off, don’t we?

Committee Meeting – 11th June 2013

-- The financial report identified that we will need to fund-raise for the 2014 show. As many sausage sizzles as possible will be scheduled and a project to make 2014 cat calendars.

-- A sub-committee to fine tune the end-of-season awards has been established.
- 2014 / 60th All Breeds Show:
-- More judges contracts are back.
-- Fundraising plans were discussed and there was a review of plans to see where money can be better spent.
-- The price for stalls at the show was set.

Thank You
From our USA judge, Teresa Keiger:
I wanted to thank the Palmerston North Cat Club for both inviting me to judge your show last weekend and for all of your efforts in making the show such a rewarding experience. Rob and I both appreciate the club's outstanding hospitality and had a wonderful time.

2014 PNCC Calendars
As a fund-raiser we are producing a 2014 calendar and are seeking twelve sponsors who for a mere $20 and some great cat photos will get a ‘month’ for their photos and a small amount of text (the breed, the cattery, one form of contact). Pet owners and show families with $20 and great photos are also welcome as sponsors. Interested? Please get in touch.

What Happened to the Layout?
Yes, yes, I did change it. Originally it had been designed to work well when printed but the reality is that nearly all members who receive the Newsletter do so electronically - hence the overdue layout changes.
