Letter from the CBC President, October 31, 2007

ear Fellow Bloodhounders,

Crisp fall weather has arrived! Fall colors abound. What an incredibly energizing time of year. I have found such joy in watching "Boone" as he is refreshed by the change in season. The cooler weather finds him prancing often with treasured toy in mouth. He will soon be celebrating his ninth birthday. I have been so blessed by his presence.

Our regional club is energized by the season as well. November is a busy month as we gather in Salisbury MD for a supported entry and then on to Lancaster, PA for the Amish Classic Trailing Trial. Plans are well underway for another trailing trial in Virginia in March and for our Eastern Regional Specialty in April. I hope to see many of you at these events as our wonderful breed is presented.

ho to contact when you have a bloodhound related question? Much information is available through the ABC but lets get a regional help desk started. Topics may includ but are not limited to conformation shows, showring handling, trailing, tracking, obedience, rally, agility, health and grooming. If you are a CBC member with some expertise to share please contact Terri Heck. Example follows:

May you all be blessed with renewed energy and find joy in all things big and small. And as always "hug your hound"!
