President's Message

By now you are aware that I am not seeking another term as President of ALAC.My business has grown twenty five percent in the last year alone and we openedour fourth office this Spring in Washington, DC in connection with a major projectwe have there. The increase in responsibility due to this growth and expansion(my partners do most of the traveling, I try to keep things going in Portland)simply does not leave me the time necessary to properly direct the activities ofthe club. I have agreed to run for Vice-President so that I can continue to supportthe other officers and Board members and provide some continuity in theimplementation of policies and programs we have started in the last two years. Ihave been fortunate to have a very good and supportive group of officers andBoard members this year and would not have made it this far without them.

NATIONAL SPECIALTY JUDGES SELECTION 1999Please note that this edition of the newsletter contains the final judges selectionballot for the 1999 National Specialty to be held in Region 6. If you haven'talready, get it out, mark it and mail it in now! In addition to the annual election,this is one of the most important decisions the membership as a whole makeseach year.

HANDBOOKEveryone's patience will soon be rewarded. Catherine Marley has been workingdiligently to get the Handbook updated and reorganized. The current plan is tohave it printed and ready for distribution by the time of the National in Seattle(just in time for a new round of area code changes!). The way Catherine hasorganized it and set it up, however, will make it much easier to update the rosterand other key pages every year.

1997 NATIONAL SPECIALTYSpeaking of the National Specialty in Seattle, the Show Committee and CLAFhave been working very hard to assure everyone a terrific week when "LhasasReign in the Emerald City" in June. The Cascade Club is busy planning their"Sleepless in Seattle" pajama party and the Breed Standard and JudgesEducation committees are going to be presenting a joint program based on theirrespective committee's work to update the membership on progress. With theregional and national specialties, sweepstakes and grand futurity (this year beingthe first with a three judge panel!) this should indeed be a very special week.

1997-98 CLUB ELECTIONSEveryone should have their ballots for the annual election by now. If you did notreceive your ballot for some reason, contact the secretary, Esther DeFalcis rightaway. And if you haven't marked your ballot and returned it already, please do itright away so that it is in time for the June 1st deadline. Also, please rememberthat this is the first year we will be voting for staggered Board terms, so your votethis year is especially important since it will have an effect on how the clubfunctions for the next three years not just one. Lets continue the good work andpositive direction we have established over the last couple of years. Pleaseconsider the candidates carefully and please vote!

See you in Seattle!

From the Secretary

It has been several months since I took office assecretary. It seems as if the position is just startingto fit and it's time for the 1997 elections. I believethere is a good working relationship among thecurrent administration, and I am confident that the1997 Officers and Board will maintain thatrelationship.

The Nominating Committee's report of the 1997Officers and Board Members was mailed andnominations from the floor were received.

The 1997 Annual Election Ballots, along with theprofiles of each candidate, have been mailed to themembership. If you did not receive your packet, pleasecontact me as soon as possible and I will send a ballotout to you immediately. Please be sure to vote beforeJune 1, 19971

The February Board Meeting was held in New York onFebruary 8, 1997. The minutes of the Board Meeting areincluded in the bulletin. If you have any questionsrelating to the minutes, please contact Larry or myself.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you in Seattle atthe Nationals.

Respectfully submitted, Esther DeFalcis

From the Treasurer

Attached are several reports that should be reviewed byeach ALAC member. It's important to realize that thefinancial condition of our Treasury is of great concern tothe Officers and Board members alike.

The first report shows the condition of the Treasurywhen it was transferred to me from our previousTreasurer, Carolyn Herbel. There was $12,419.98transferred, but a major portion of those funds werealready allocated for future or designated expenses. Asof January 31, 1997, our condition is in somewhat bettershape.

The second report is a breakdown of income andexpenses since I assumed the position of Treasurer. Ifyou review the report carefully you can see how theTreasury has increased throughout 1996 and into 1997.This is a primary result of a very profitable 1996National Specialty. We do not project as significant aprofit for 1997.

The final report is the projected budget for 1997. Asyou can see, we do not anticipate ANY growth for 1997and need to keep our expenses in line with our incomeprojections, in order to meet the budget. It's importantfor all members to review these reports. I welcome anycomments or suggestions.

Very truly yours, Stephen Campbell

Breed Rescue

First I want to thank the Lhasa Apso Club of SouthernCalifornia for their generous gift of $250.00 to LhasaRescue. They have also promised a donation of apercentage of the profits from all future shows to therescue cause. This is the first regional club to put therescue of the breed in their budget. Many thanks!

Thanks in part to their donation we were able to rescueSweety, a Lhasa from the pound in 29 Palms, CA.Unfortunately her companion, a male, succumbed topneumonia after his release from the pound. Sweetywas pregnant and for health reasons couldn't be spayed.She whelped 3 dead puppies but had no ill effects. Wespayed her and she is now in a home here in Colorado.

Thanks to Lavonne Brockway and Judy O'Dell we'reable to help many Southern California dogs. Their timeand energy is invaluable.

Not all rescue helpers are member of ALAC. In someareas we get help from other breed rescue organizations,i.e., Marge York of Dalmation Rescue who placed 54Lhasas in homes in Arizona in 1996. I'm happy for anyhelp I can get since many members don't seem to care.Rescuing Lhasas after all is the important thing — notwho does it. No one gets rich doing this worthy cause.

I'd like to encourage regional clubs to hold a "Parade ofRescued Lhasas" at their specialty. AKC is happy togive approval and it's great to see the rescue does andespecially their proud owners "strut their stuff'.

Respectfully, Maly Schroeder

Health & Education

The Canine Good Citizen Test will be offered in Seattleat the Specialty again this year. The AKC now keepsrecord of all dogs attaining CGC (a change from pastyears). The test now requires the dog to sit and lie down(without being forced) and to come when called. TestFee is $5.00. We hope to have an even better turnoutthan last year. Please note there is no age limit on thetest, so if you have a puppy too young to enter in theSpecialty, it can be tested and get its CGC. Also, we donot restrict it to only Lhasa Apsos, if you have or knowof someone with other breeds (dogs do not have to bepure bred to take the test).

I will be taking pre-entries at 801 Linda Lane, Raymore,MO 64083-9207 up until one (1) week prior to theSpecialty. Pre-entries would receive priority handlingand a preferred time for testing. See enclosed "AKCCanine Good Citizen Program Registration Form".See reverse side of registration form for exercises thatwill be required to qualify for a CGC Title.

Looking forward to seeing you in Seattle.
