Save the date, July 14th, for the first NENDA/Sunny Sisters ADGA Show to be held at the Bolton Fairgrounds in Lancaster,MA! Working on having the Nigerian Show also AGS sanctioned. Our judge will be Jeremy Lesniak. More details to follow. Thanks to Mary Fox who has volunteered to be show secretary and guide us through this new venture.
NENDA Annual Meeting November 19th, 2011 was held at Lorene Toth's in Woodstock, CT. Old and new members enjoyed a delicious pot-luck and Joanne Karohl did a brief presentation on copper bolusing. Lots of questions and answers were exchanged and we hope to meet again in January 2012 to discuss conformation. NENDA is planning to host a dual sanctioned ADGA/AGS Show this summer. Watch for more details. Happy Thanksgiving!
July 2011 Updates-ADGA Nationals was held in Springfield , MA. NENDA members Ellen Gould, Lorene Toth and Joanne Karohl were involved in the planning phase of the show. Olivia, Emma, and Molly Gould and Maximillian worked tirelessly doing whatever was asked during the show, and believe me there was plenty to do. Representing NENDA in the show ring were Bonnie Chandler, the Gould Family, Joanne Karohl and Rebecca Wilson. Joanne Karohl's Dragonfly RY Topaz was National Champion! Congratulations to all!
