May 01, 2008 - Entries are rolling in for our 2nd Annual Boxer Specialty!  Let's not forget
about the Hospitality Bag donations - we're getting down to the wire!  The Ribbon
Committee has placed the ribbon order for the
June and July shows.  We've received 5
orders for
Window Decals in the month of April.  Total views for our website in April were
2,220!  People are taking notice!

May 02, 2008 - Please read our Featured Article for May.  Start thinking of what your
"Featured Article" would be if/when you are asked - you never know when you'll get the
e-mail!

May 03, 2008 - There are just 13 short days left to enter the 2008 UKC Premier (entries
close May 16, 2008), and only 27 days left to take advantage of our
2nd Annual Boxer
Specialty pre-entry discount (pre-entry deadline is May 30, 2008)!  Come on out and
promote the breed!  Our Health and Education Committees will have a booth with lots of
information.

May 04, 2008 - We're kicking it into high gear for our 2nd Annual Boxer Specialty!  Marge
Gubry is getting information together for the Health and Education Booth,  Tina Reed and
William Chrzanowski have ordered the always beautiful ribbons.  Tina Camp is stocking up
on sauce, meatballs, and sausage (she's even trying to remember the vegans this year), and
she's making a list of cups, plates, flatware, etc., and will make sure we have access to a
cool coat cooler ringside.  Morgan Reed is making sure that we have ample tables, trash
receptacles, and the "big boy grill".  Joe Camp and Dan Giovinazzi are covering the coolers,
tent, lighting, and spaghetti cooker (they won't forget the strainer this year). The Annual
Meeting menu is starting to take form, and everyone is getting excited!  There is always so
much work, but our club members always seem to pull their weight.  We're already working
on our
July Specialty!  It's a good thing that Boxers and their people have a high drive!

May 14, 2008 - We have added two new items to our "On Sale Now" page!  We will be
adding more items in the future depending on how well our current items go over.  The Great
Lakes Boxer Club takes great efforts to offer only quality items at the very best prices we

hopes that you will want to wear/display these quality items with pride.
