Thank you!

I would like to thank all of you who worked so hard tomake PCA 2006 the best National Specialty Show, ever.So many commented what a good PCA this was; I as-sured them that it was easy when everyone knows his job and when everyone does his job so well. The showvirtually runs itself.As always the Setup committee Chaired by DennisMcCoy did an outstanding job of getting the exhibi-tors into the building in short order. Next year we planthat exhibitors will be able to claim and enter their set-ups on Monday evening, thus, allowing Obedience judging to begin at 8 AM on Tuesday morning or when-ever Susie wants. Thanks, Dennis, Terri, Betty, Karen,Kaz, Tony, Gail, Penny, Katy, and Jo Ann and every-one else who helped. You are a great team!The year that Bill Grace decided not to attend PCAhad to be one of my most difficult years in getting theshow running smoothly. It just isn't possible to put onPCA without the hard work of the Graces and BradNoyes. Most don't know the countless hours that theyput in each day. You are indispensable!Patty and Alice and Doug and Sam and their workersdo an incredible job with raffle and silent auction. Eachyear they raise thousands of dollars for the Club. Whata job you do! You are incredible!Speaking of monies raised Nancy McGee out doesherself each year with shirt and pin sales, and Laz andAileen have better and better vendors each year. Theefforts of these three ladies basically paid for the beau-tiful sod we had this year and MANY other things.PCA as we know it wouldn't be possible without yourhard work! Thank you!How beautiful the rings were this year. Missy yourimagination and creativity coupled with Steve's inter-pretation were perfect. I know that you have diamondsin your mind already for next years' 75th anniversaryshow. I love working with right-brained people! Thank you for your ideas, creativity, innovation and inven-tion!Dr. Knight took over judge's and foreign visitors'hospitality this year. Mike, it has never been better!The Kingsley's and Lucille Perzan – what would weever do without you. All that silver polishing andbook sales make our show glitter in sales and tro-phies. Thank you for your hard work!Thanks again to all.Richard LehmanAsst. National Show Chairman

Ladies and Gentleman,

The PCA Clinics were a roaring success.Optigen had 61 blood draws and Neonatal En-cephalopathy had 31 draws.There were no more swabs left forAKC,DNA,CHIC Repository and UC DavisAddison/Epilepsy research. Discounts were offeredfor OFA, forms were given, with a sticker,providinga 50% reduction for being connected with PCA.Furthermore, there was a discount given for VonWillebrands testing, again, associated with PCA.Whew................My committee, Angela Reigert (a saint) GayleRoberson and Fran Rubinich, have my deepest ap-preciation for all their hard work.I missed you all desperately. However, there isalways 07.
