 1st September Barbecue - Help Needed!

On Sunday 1st September the club will be running a fund-raising barbecue outside the Warehouse in Palmerston North.

Margaret Morgan will be organising it but she will need helpers.  We understand it is Father’s Day but it would be appreciated if club members without family commitments for that day could help out.

Margaret will need three people to help her from 9.30 – 12.30 and another three from 12.30 until 3.30 – 4.30 (depending on sales).

Please ring or email Margaret and volunteer to help.

Contact: Margaret Morgan, m.morgan@inspire.net.nz, 06 357-5788

Our Sponsors

We’ve started a webpage dedicated to the preparations for the club’s 60th All Breeds show in 2014.

It also gives us a chance to thank the sponsors who are already supporting the show, like B-K’s Motor Lodge and Palmerston North Motel.

 2014 Cats Calendar

In the June newsletter we asked if anybody was interested in sponsoring a page in the club’s upcoming fund-raising calendar.  Well, the project is done and the calendars have been delivered.  They are wall calendars, A4 when closed, A3 when open, and are of very nice quality.  The calendars are $15 each.  To give people a preview we’ve popped a few of the ‘proof’ pages on the club’s blog.

If you would like to buy a calendar ... or two ... please contact Jane.

Committee Meeting – 13th August 2013

Amazon.com

If you have visited the club website lately you might have noticed a link to Amazon.com, the online bookshop in the US, on this page.

Do you buy from Amazon already?  If you do, would you consider accessing the Amazon site via the link on our webpage?  It will make no difference to your shopping or costs but there will be a small ‘reward’ in it for the club.

Spread the word!  We’d appreciate it if you mentioned our link to all your book buying friends, as well.

(There’s never a dull moment on the fund-raising campaigns at our committee meetings!)
