September 2025

It’s almost convention time! Announcements will be made here for our club and the “Official 2025 ARBA Convention Info Group” on FB is the best group for general convention information

 

Donations are needed for our raffle at our breed booth - all proceeds go to youth scholarship - reach out to Melinda Harshfield for any questions

 

Join It - this announcement will be in every update - All members PLEASE log in to our Join It account and check your membership status - this program sends email to alert members that their membership is about to expire but it may be going to your spam - I have some very strange emails go to my spam so I check and clear it out regularly - for any questions contact our secretary Rheana Zaretsky

 

Quilt & trio tickets will be in this next Hollander - you can remove and make as many copies as you’d like - fill them out and bring with you to convention or mail to Shari before deadline

 

Digital Hollander - After this Hollander starts hitting the mailboxes Karen will upload it to our member only section on our website

 

Silent auction and live auction - we will be having a zone basket silent auction at our booth - if you have something to put in your zone’s basket please reach out to your director - winner will be announced at the banquet - we will also have our regular auction at the banquet but the venue says alcohol is NOT allowed in baskets at banquet auction - details coming in the Hollander.

It is time to start looking for donations for our live holland auction that is held after our general membership meeting - reach out to Chrissy Royer or Diane Walter if you have any questions - you can also join the “HLRSC Auction” group for the latest updates

 

Volunteers are always needed for convention - we still have time slots available to volunteer at our booth and the convention committee may still need help in their office or other areas - If you have time to offer a little help reach out to me and I will get you connected with the right people

 

Shavings - The convention committee had reached out to all the clubs asking for donations to help with the cost of shavings - the board discussed and voted to approve for us to donate 500.00 towards shavings
