President’s Report
What a year it has been, with Covid 19 shut down and losses, changes in the way we do everything, and RHDv2 complicating the rabbit world. But now, it looks like we can get back to some shows. I’m not sure it will be exactly the same as it used to be, but people are out and showing a bit now, and it feels good! I want to congratulate all of the Nationals 2021 winners: Amber Henderson and Angel LeSage for Open BOB and BOS, respectively, and Bettina Curletto for Youth BOB and BOS. Due to RHDv2 restrictions, the show was moved last minute to Merced, California. I understand that those who were able to attend had a wonderful time. The pictures of all those smiles sure left me wanting to be showing. Elections this year will be held for District Directors in odd-numbered districts, and for president. We did have a few new faces complete the requirements to run for office, and a few of our current board folk will be stepping down. The board year and new board positions begin at the General Membership meeting at ARBA Convention, which means those board members who are leaving service in this capacity will be with us for a few months yet. I encourage all of you to seek them out during the next few months, and thank them for serving the membership! Meadow Gustafson, Haley Jewell, and Bill Miller will be leaving the board. I will have much more to say in thanks to them in our next issue of the FLUFF. This is a fine time to remind you all that the entire club is staffed by volunteers. Everything that happens for your club, and for you as members, is done by a volunteer. Whether it’s a longer term and longer time commitment, such as serving on the board or a committee, or a shorter term, one-time effort, everything that we are able to do is done by a volunteer. I am so thankful for each and every person who helps to make this club run! And speaking of volunteers, there will soon be ample opportunity for many, many folks to step up and help. The ARBA Convention is happening this year (hooray!), and the club is charged with running our breed booth, and with making the Jersey Wooly portion of the show run smoothly. We begin our planning for Convention in June. Please consider saying “yes” to helping out if asked. As the saying goes, “many hands make light work.” I look forward to seeing you all at the shows!
