Annual Meeting!
Location: Large Picnic Shelter, Apex Community Park, Laura Duncan Road Entrance

(Park Entrance-Follow the road to the last parking lot)
It’s TIME! The CCCKCSC will have our first in-person club meeting since January 2020! While our annual meeting will look a little different from previous years, we think it’s finally safe to get together in person for a meeting, the election of officers, to catch up with old friends, and to have a heart clinic for our dogs!
We will not bring food to share this year; however, you are encouraged to bring your own lunch. There are plenty of picnic tables under the shelter where we can eat and chat while socially distanced. Individual bottles of water and soda will be provided by the club. When you are not eating, masks are REQUIRED.
Dr Terri DeFrancesco (NC State Vet School Cardiologist) will conduct heart auscultations from 11:00am to 1:30pm.
Please come join us on Saturday, May 22nd at 10:30 at Apex Community Park. It will be wonderful to see you all again!
As always, dogs are invited to attend! You may want to consider bringing x-pens if you have them.

Dr Terri DeFrancesco (NC State Vet School Cardiologist) will conduct heart auscultations from 11:00am to 1:30pm.
- She has agreed to check up to 30 dogs.
- Club members will have the opportunity to fill these spots before opening slots to guests.
- Each club member may register up to 2 dogs for the clinic, and this will be done on a first come first served basis until all slots are filled. (For clarity, those with a family membership, are also limited to having 2 dogs checked, rather than 2 dogs per person.) By limiting the number to 2 dogs initially, all club members who are interested, should be able to have some of their dogs checked. The cost is $52 per dog which must be pre-paid to reserve a spot.
- Please email me at cathy.u.eason@gmail.com to reserve up to 2 heart checks. I will send you a PayPal link, so that you can pre-pay, or if you prefer to pay by check, I will send you the information to do that. I will also send you the OFA form for cardiac auscultation so that you can complete the form and bring it with you to the heart clinic.
Please come join us on Saturday, May 22nd at 10:30 at Apex Community Park. It will be wonderful to see you all again!
