We did not have a very large entry for Sweeps in 2013 but it is a great opportunity to see our veterans. Mitzi checked with Vicki Jordan and we can add a Veterans Class to the November classes so we do not need to do Sweeps. It was agreed to focus on doing A Match only. Niko is working hard on prizes for the Supported Entry so we can come up with a budget for sponsorships and the Premium List. Mitzi sent info for the Nov judge (Julie Narzisi) to Becky Campbell so she can contact her about judging.
Mitzi motioned to have Niko make the decision on what prizes go to which show (Supported entry vs. regional specialty). Webb seconded. Niko still wants club input and did not agree.

Report of the Commitees:
Ways and Means (Marti Linfert)- no report
Health- (Tammy Kinkade) – no report
AKC Committee-(Mitzi reporting) We will need to hold two A Matches a minimum of 6 months apart before we can apply to be a licensed club. We must be a licensed club to hold a regional specialty which is our goal for 2015. The shows in our geographical area that work with this schedule are the April & Nov Columbus shows. The Central Ohio Kennel Club and Medina Kennel Club have agreed to work with us on this. We have not been able to get the correct paperwork that will satisfy AKC from the Medina Kennel Club and we are getting close to the 90 day deadline. We may have to change our date to Sunday of the April show in conjunction with the Columbus Kennel Club. We would not have good attendance but we need to get this done. Becky and Chad are trying to get the letter or email from an officer of the Medina Kennel Club this week.

- Supported entry and Raffle at Columbus, OH- do we need to do both Sweeps and an A Match??? We did not have a very large entry for Sweeps in 2013 but it is a great opportunity to see our veterans. Mitzi will check to see if Vicki Jordan can add a Veterans Class to the November show and we will discuss this at the Louisville meeting. Niko has presented prizes for the Supported Entry so that we can come up with a budget for sponsorships and the Premium List. Mitzi will forward the info for the Nov judge (Julie Narzisi) to Becky Campbell so that she can contact her about judging.

Open Discussion:
Mark Tichenor from the Midwest Mastiff Fanciers Club presented a proposal of holding a Regional Specialty in the beginning of November 2014 at the Ft Wayne, IN show on Sat. with a possible Supported entry. MCONO cannot officially be part of this because it is outside of our AKC assigned geographical area but we can help with member attendance and general support. The members were interested and asked to be kept updated. We will keep our club members informed and promote the event.
Adjournment: Chad motioned to adjourn and Gail seconded
