Dear Members:

Last year at this time we sent you the first information email from the new executive of the Bouvier des Flandres Club of Canada. We would like to go to a monthly e-mail newsletter, but as it's been difficult to get input from the membership as well as time to publish the newsletter, we have only sent 6 issues this year. As you know we are all busier, have personnel concerns and less time to put as volunteers.

Some of you will ask us, what the BdFCC situation is a year later. Unfortunately, not where I will like to see it! We have made some progress, but not a lot at the first draw. Our membership chair/treasurer did a wonder full job and I want to thank her for all the support for this past year. I would like to also thank the executive members who invested time and who have expressed their view throughout this year.

Serge Bilodeau, President
