In 1990 we saw an article on the Leonberger in Dog Fancy magazine. We wrote to the LCA about finding a breeder. We were referred to Mary Decher. When we went over to the Dechers' house to see the dogs I was overwhelmed by the size. However, any reservations I had about having a big dog vanished after old granny Anna climbed onto my lap and gave me a kiss. We've been hooked on Leos ever since. Our first dog show of any kind was the annual NW local show in the summer of 1991, and we took home baby Fifi a short time after that. From that first show to the present the NW has always had such a wonderful, friendly, and supportive group of people. I hope that by helping out on the board I can help to make sure it always stays that way. We now share our home with our second generation of Leos: Mattie & Miss Mini.
I was elected Treasurer in August of 2006. My job is to manage the financial assets of the club.
Summary
Our annual operating budget is dependent upon revenue generated from our regional shows, raffle, coffee and lunch bar, donations, t-shirt and denim shirt sales.
Expenses which occur yearly are show ground fees (currently Argus Ranch), insurance to cover the regional shows and the extra fun Leo events (walks, herding, beach romps), along with fees to cover banking costs and business licensing. Fees for judges may include a set show fee, travel costs, overnight accomodations. Ribbons and prizes are purchased for those who excel. Our special wine and cheese social the Friday night is in appreciation of all of our members and is hosted, in part, by the club.
