FUNDRAISER TO HELP THE FAMILY OF PEGGY HARRIS
On July 10, long-time club member and highly esteemed grooming judge Peggy Harris died in a single car accident. She left behind 10 dogs and her elderly mother. Peggy had no insurance or significant savings.
The Columbus Kennel Club is raising money to help Peggy's mother with the expenses involved in rehoming the dogs, etc. We are raffling off a Mini HD Camcorder with 4 gig memory card. Tickets are only $2 each. The drawing will be Sept 18 at our Responsible Dog Owners Day event at Petco in Columbus.
