The mission of the Newfoundland Club of Northern California is to encourage and promote the breeding, understanding, and appreciation of the Newfoundland dog, and to perform and to encourage such activities as will bring its natural qualities to perfection, including draft work and water rescue.

From the President…

I am hoping each of you had a wonderful Holiday Season, spending time with family, friends and our K-9 buddies.

The Holiday Party, which was held at the Maggy’s home, was in its usual fashion a great time had by all. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our white elephant gift exchange brought thievery, scheming, teaming and laughter for all. Thank you very much Linda and Merle for hosting the event, your home is always so beautifully decorated and welcoming.

The NCNC has a very busy couple of months ahead so I wanted to remind us all of our calendared items, please see the calendar within the Newfs Paper for more information:

  • Jan 1st, Annual Planning Meeting. Breakfast pot luck to be served at 9am, meeting begins at 10am. Please come prepared to discuss judges for both Water and Draft tests, potential test sites, test dates and volunteer for the many of the different positions needing to be filled to put on our tests. Without volunteers we would not be able to have these functions. I will get off my soap box when we see some fresh faces jumping into the working world of volunteering. WE NEED YOU!
  • Jan 11th, Carting Seminar registration form is due.
  • Jan 14th, Carting Seminar, we would enjoy seeing some new faces as either helpers or carters.
