Dear ACC Members,
First, I want to thank Michelle Keehn for her many years of dedicated service to the club as editor for the Bulletin.
We are currently in the process of transitioning to two new Bulletin editors, and we ask for a little additional patience as we work to get materials transferred and everyone up to speed. All we can promise is that we are working hard to address the issues we’ve had in the past and get the Bulletins going out in a more timely manner.
Thank you to all of our volunteers who continue to give their time to the club. We still have quite a few openings on several committees, and the best way to create positive change is to be part of it. It’s easy to focus on what isn’t working or what could be done differently. It takes a little more effort to stay positive, offer solutions, and step up to help make those changes happen. That is how we move the club forward.
If you would like to help, please submit a volunteer application. We will do our best to utilize people where their interests, experience, and abilities are the best fit.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your willingness to help move the club forward.
Robyn Haskin, ACC President
Equally proficient on land and in the water,
the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was developed
along the Chesapeake Bay to hunt waterfowl
under the most adverse weather and water
conditions, often having to break ice during
the course of many strenuous multiple retrieves.
The American Chesapeake Club is the parent club that speaks for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in the American Kennel Club. We own and control the breed standard that defines our breed and provides a blueprint for breeders to follow in the preservation of this unique American breed.
