PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Rosie Schroeder
WELCOME THREE NEW BOARD MEMBERS
OBEDIENCE MEDALLIONS
We did not receive any additional nominations for the
board, so the four members nominated by the nominating
committee are declared elected. Our new ofﬁcers and
board members are
Class of 2015
Kirsten Andreassend
Pat Colombo
Robert Lamm
As I mentioned last month, two new awards have been
established. These medallions, pictured below, will be
given to the top scoring
bearded collie completing
a regular obedience
title (CD, CDX and UD)
during the preceding
year and also the top
scoring bearded collie
completing a regular rally
title (RN, RA, RE) during
the preceding year. As
you can see these are
going to be very special.
In order to raise the funds
to pay for nine years of medallions (there is a sizeable
price break for this quantity), the obedience committee
needs donations from anyone interested in supporting this
worthwhile venue. If you would like to contribute, please
contact
Class of 2016
Billy Carter
Nicole Conner
Debby Furlow
Laurie Lo, Obedience Chair

I would like to thank Joanne Williamson and Carol Sirrine,
who will be leaving the board this year, for their years of
dedication to the BCCA. Although they will no longer be
on the board, I am sure they will maintain the same level of
commitment and will be ready to help in any way needed.
The BCCA needs dedicated people such as these ladies
and gentlemen who have and will be serving on the board
and many others who serve in other ways. Without this
type of leadership there would be no club to watch over
our beloved beardies. If you have never served on a
committee or acted in some type of role for the BCCA, I
encourage you to do so. The club needs your support!
BCCA DUES RENEWAL
Michele Ritter – President
Maryann Szalka - Vice President
Nicole Connor - Board Member
Debby Furlow - Board Member
I think the new board will be very successful, and I
look forward to working with them as past president.
Continuing on the board are
Linda Taylor - Recording Secretary
Don Means – Treasurer
Elizabeth Hayes - Corresponding Secretary
Rosie Schroeder - Past President
At the risk of sounding as if I'm nagging, I am reminding
you again! Look for your dues renewal that will be sent
via the club’s Mail Chimp account by June 1st. Those who
are mailed a hard copy of the Bagpipes will receive it with
the May Bagpipes. Remember we have some new rules
this year, so don't be caught unawares. Dues are due by
July 1st. If not received by then, a penalty of $5 will be
assessed. If still unpaid after August 31, your membership
is terminated; if you wish to be a BCCA member, you will
have to go through the application process again. There
are no exceptions.
The mission of the Bearded Collie Club of America is to protect the long-term welfare of the breed by providing a variety of opportunities for Beardie
owners, breeders, and the general public to learn, connect, and compete, while supporting research into breed-specific health issues and rescuing
Beardies in need.
