September President’s Message
Our 54th Annual Columbia Canary Club Show and Sale is just around the corner. I hope you are planning to participate. It is on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. Much of the information that we have printed in a show catalog in past years will now be included in the September and October newsletters. An email version of the catalog will be sent out too. Remember that this year you need to reserve a sales table in advance. The information for reserving a table will be emailed out also. Or you can contact Randi Smith.
If you would like a copy of the show entry form and show cage tags, to fill out ahead of time, please let me know and I will mail them to you.
Our annual show and sale are a highlight of our club’s activities. I hope you are able to come. It takes many volunteers to get it all set up and run smoothly. If you can help, please let our show manager Wayne Smith know. He is always looking for help.
Our September meeting will be on Sept. 14. I hope you can join us in person or via zoom. The zoom link will be emailed a couple days prior to the meeting. The board meets at 1:30 pm. The show committee is at 2:00 pm and the general meeting is at 2:30 pm. This month’s program will be on preparing canaries for show.
Enjoy the fall and I hope to see you on Saturday, Oct. 26 and Sept. 14!
