I was honored to receive the Monna Berrhill President's award this year. Holding the Secretary position for such a large breed club entales dedicating several hours each week to club responsibilities. This summer myself, along with our President Maple Kelly, and Sandra Wight devoted the last few months to updating the NMRRC guidebook so it would be ready for our members by ARBA convention. It was a big project, that added more hours and caused a bit of stress and frustration along the way. (My husband is especially happy this project is complete 😬)
But, ourselves along with a great group of fellow breeders contributed content, offered feedback and helped proof new articles as it slowly came together. The feedback has been wonderful and to say I am proud of the finished product would be an understatement. It was definitely a labor of love. 💛🖤💛🖤
A big thanks to Maple, Sandra, Stevie, Shane, Julie, Chase, Jeremy, Catherine Tompkins, and Allyse Delaat for help with content or proofing.
