Meetings

Meetings are held the first Monday of each month at 7:30pm at Shoney's on Western Avenue in Knoxville.  Everyone is invited to attend, we do understand that sometimes it may be difficult to attend because of timing or distance.  You do not have to attend to have input or a voice in decisions or programs.  We will accept emails or letters. 

Board meetings will be held at 7:00 of the meeting night.

This is our fall and winter schedule.

There will be a very important Board Meeting at 7:00 PM on February 6, 2012.

All Officers and Directors need to attend.

PRIZE WINNER

Lisa was the winner of the best groomed Pet for

the month of January. She won Warren London products.

     January's groom selection was a Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, or Maltese type.

February will be the groomer's choice, and remember that it is Valentine Day

this month. So you may get creative!

Next meeting will be Monday, February 6, 2012

For the next meeting, bring pictures for the best

groomed. You can't win if you don't enter, so take some pictures

and share them with us. Who knows, you might be the Winner!

Remember our MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. Invite someone to come with you.

If you can get 5 new members for the club, you will get one year free dues.

Try real hard to bring at least one new person to the next meeting.

We will be selling donuts from Krispy Kreme as a fund raiser. If you don't

have your donut coupons, just ask. We still have plenty to sell.

MEETING TOPIC:  HOW TO PREPARE FOR

BUSINESS DURING WINTER MONTHS

Our Pet Stylists Super Show for next year will be June 1-3, 2012 at the

Knoxville Convention Center. National Dog Groomers of America will

have a Workshop and do Certification. IPG, International Professional Groomers

 and ISCC, International Society of Canine Cosmetology will also

do Certification. We will have a First Aid & CPR  Certification by Judy Hudson

and Judy Routley. Pam Laurizen will be doing a Seminar. We will

have classes for people who have never done the competition grooming

before, as well as for the more seasoned. The Trade Show should offer

some great vendor booths to go shopping, where you can get great show prices.

We have some great fundraisers besides the donuts. There will be a

Raffle for a faux Fur Stole donated by Judy Stockard. There will be a Raffle

for the weekend at the Holiday Inn which is our Host Hotel for the Show.

We are also working on some vacation packages in Pigeon Forge and

Gatlinburg, since we are at the foothills of the Smokies.
