Dear Members, This will be my last President's message. I have had fun being the President for the past two years, and look forward in helping the new President. I would like to thank all of the members for their hard work and support these past two years. If I start to name names I know I will forget some, so THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. If it wasn't for the hard work the club members put into this club, we would not be able to enjoy the sport of running our dogs in harness. I am so glad to see new members stepping forward and putting the effort into the club to keep things moving forward. Since summer is upon us it is time to get started with thinking about next year. For me I always make a list of things to do before training starts. Thinking that I have plenty of time, I usually run out of time. So the sooner I start the better. My list this year is shorter than the past few years so I am hoping to get some camping in. See everyone at the May banquet. Tim Curley President CSDC Lee Hills 04/08/2012
Dear Members, It is with a heavy heart, that I inform you of the passing of Lee Hills. For those of you who don't know who Lee Hills was, her and her husband Bob Hills were both longtime members of the Cascade Sled Dog Club. When I first met Bob and Lee Hills they had a kennel of about 30 registered Siberian Huskies. There is a long list of people that Bob and Lee had gotten started in the sport of running dogs. I am among those on the list. If it wasn't for Bob and Lee taking the time to show us what we needed to know. They also lent us their equipment and their dogs for a number of years. A lot of people would not be in this sport if it wasn't for them. Lee was also heavily involved in showing the working Siberian Husky in the show ring. She successfully worked for a number of years on the racing dogs and their ability to compete in the show ring. Lee was a lifetime member of the Cascade Sled Dog Club. She was the Treasurer for many years and co-editor of the Gangline. She will be missed my many members bothpast and present. Happy Trails to Lee. Sincerely, Tim Curley President Cascade Sled Dog Club Spring Pull Clinic is filling up! 04/08/2012

Hello CSDC members, The countdown is on for the Spring Pull Training Clinic. It sounds like we will have a full class for this spring. Hopefully mother nature will not rain on us as much as it did last year. Make sure you check the sign up sheet to help you remember what you signed up for. The meeting will be following the clinic. One of the topics for the meeting will be nominations for new officers and board. So be thinking about if you would like to be an officer or board member. Our kennel has been busy. Annie, one of the pups we got from Jeff King, had 8 puppies a couple of weeks ago. Mom and puppies are doing fine. Boy but they are sure are keeping us busy. We'll see you at the clinic/meeting. Happy Trails, Tim Spring Pull Clinic 03/27/2012

Just got back from the Bachelor Butte Sled Dog race. My racing season for this year has come to an end. Julie and I and the whole kennel had a great time at Joseph's Eagle Cap Extreme. I would recommend it to any one who wants a fun and challanging continuous race. Frog Lake 2 race was another successful race for the Cascade Sled Dog Club. I would like to thank Sharon Carpenter for doing a great job as race organizer. Lance Christensen was a great Race Marshall. I want to thank our new timer Lois Luckeroth and Kate Stebbins for the great job. Reggie Lombardi and Lindsay McCann for getting all the teams to the start line as the chute bosses. Thank you to the Mt Hood Snowmobile Club for grooming and providing the trail spotters. Noel Maffei did a fine job of cooking for everyone on Saturday thanks a lot. Laura Maffei, thanks for organizing the Pee Wee class. I know that all the kids involved had a great time and they loved there prizes and medals. I want to thank all the club members for coming out and supporting the race. We will be having a March meeting so be sure to check the Gangline for more information. We will be discussing the upcoming pull clinic as well as wrapping up the races for the season. Happy Trails, Tim Curley President CSDC |
