We also asked the Health Committee to consider hosting a microchip clinic at our 2008 web survey is complete and the summary is included in this newsletter. The web committee will be making recommendations to the board based on the results and will facilitate collecting the information to place on the that AKC has approved electronic communication with the membership, we started working on how to best do that. We are trying out two methods used by other clubs. 1) Sheila Hoffman, our recording secretary, is keeping an up-to-date list of member email addresses.

That way we can be assured that we are addressing everyone with an email address. 2) We have created a Yahoo group for the board to help us discuss issues between meetings. If that works well, we ll figure out the best way to use that method to get information out to members. In addition to these two methods, you are now able to get the SCRIBE electronically.
