I am in need of a Chief Tracklayer and Chief Cross Track Layer.
We also have a variety of other jobs for volunteers: tracklayers, flag carriers, hospitality, drivers, and etc. We would like volunteers to be available for Saturday and Sunday if possible, but not necessary. We do have jobs that we can split up the times and days. If any of these sounds like something you would like to try, please call or email me at (402) 670-3902 shellyrehmeier@cox.net.
Experience for most of these jobs is not necessary.
Hope to see you there and thank you for your support,
Shelly Rehmeier
Tracking Test Secretary
This is such exciting news! WE will be helping the Cornhusker Kennel Club with their Fast CAT event. They are stretched thin with needed volunteers between the All Breed Dog Show and the Fast CAT event. We all know the Fast CAT events can be a big draw for entries to a dog show. We are excited to be able to support another local club. The great news? All the profits from that event will come directly to us—so your support is extra meaningful!
Please consider volunteering even for a morning or afternoon shift if you are able. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out to Michelle Myers. Thank you again for all you do—we can’t wait to see you at the track!
