Date: January 28th 2010

Hi everyone. Since Gary and Dave are doing their obedience in addition to tracking at the Junior College, and we are also having some of the evaluations at that location, we are moving training BACK a little bit at Kurt and Mary's. Please note the time change below!

If you ever think the weather is questionable and you aren't sure if we will be training, CHECK YOUR E-MAIL BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME. If there is any change in plans, we send out a group message just as soon as we find out. OR, you can also call Gary's cell phone which is 815-405-6494. The phone number on the Joliet Schutzhund web site is the land line in our home office, and it may or may not get answered on Saturday. So your best bet for last minute information of any kind once Saturday is here is to call that cell phone number. Leave a message if Gary doesn't answer - he will check them.

For people doing evaluations: You do not need a reservation. Just come on out. You can do your eval either at the Junior College (be there no later than 10AM) or at Kurt & Mary's place (be there no later than 1PM). You are welcome and encouraged to watch some or all of the other activities.

TRACKING FOR 1/30: Will start at approximately 9:30AM or when Dave arrives at the main campus of Joliet Junior College. The group meets at the Southern most end of the East Parking lot. Look for Gary's olive green Ford Explorer with the DTW logos, or Dave's black pickup truck. Gary's cell phone is 815-405-6494 if you get there and can't find anyone. (be patient in case they are a little late) For directions, please visit this link: http://www.jjc.edu/about/campuses/Pages/main-campus.aspx

EVALUATIONS AND OBEDIENCE FOR TRACKERS FOR 1/30: Will follow tracking at Joliet Junior College. Be there by 10:00AM for Evals. We can also do pup foundation and obedience for non-trackers at the Junior College. Be there by 10:00 if you are interested.

OBEDIENCE/ PUP FOUNDATION (if you didn't do it at the junior college): Will start at about NOON at Kurt & Mary's house in Lemont. (this is one hour later than previous weeks) We can also do evaluations at Kurt & Mary's. Directions are below the schedule.

PROTECTION FOR 1/30: Will be last at Kurt and Mary's house. For protection only be there no later than 1:30.
