It's holiday time again and we're ready for an especially festive meetup - this time on the THIRD Saturday of the month to beat the Christmas weekend - at Poway Community Park. I apologize for the delay in getting this out, but we had some logistics issues with the website - all straightened out now. Special events for this meetup are detailed below:

1. We'll have a drawing for prizes (left over from our Halloween gala) which means everyone who shows up will get a raffle ticket. We'll do the drawing at 11am so plan your arrival accordingly. I think we have plenty to give away, but if you have something you really need to donate, bring it along.

2. In the "Help someone less fortunate" department: We'd like to collect donations (completely voluntary, of course) to support the organization "Baghdad Pups" which raises money to help bring dogs adopted by service folks in the Middle East back to the US. Our alert member Terry Blain called our attention to this worthwhile organization. You can learn more at http://www.baghdadpup.... We thought it would be great to collect the money and then send all our checks together - from San Diego Corgi Meetup! If you'd like to contribute, please make your check payable to SPCA International and bring it along to the meeting. Terry will collect them and send them along with a nice card from the group.

3. And in a related contribution department: JB and I have been fronting the cost of the Meetup website and other odds & ends for a while now. If you'd like to make a small contribution (cash preferably) to help offset those costs, that would be fun. I figure our costs for one year at about $300. And we have 50-70 people who participate every month (not to mention, a bunch of other members too) - so if everyone contributed about $5, that would cover everything. Seems like a pretty good deal for $5 a year! This is optional, of course, but would be appreciated.

We hope to see you all there on Saturday, Dec 20th! Ho Ho Ho!!

    What a terrific meetup! A nice, sunny but not too warm day, and the dogs all 'dressed up.' A big THANK YOU to all who donated to Bagdad Pups -- I have sent a check for $350 to the SPCA International for the Bagdad Pups program. Our service men and women and the dogs they bring back to the US thank you.

    it's a shame we couldn't go.we had other things we had to do.maybe next month?

Who attended?

  • 60 attendees
    • “ We had a wonderful time and Trevor ran rampant until he couldn't run anymore! (*_*) Excellent event. ”
    • “ A meetup during this time of the year is a great thing so that the 'kids' can play for a bit without us having to do shopping, wrapping, goodie making, etc. Those same things made it more stressful to abandon our 2 legged chores in favor of our 4 legged fam members, but it's ALWAYS good to go to Meet up time!! Nice to meet you, AJ! ”
    • “ I really enjoyed this meetup, I know my dogs did too. It was great that we had another raffle. Meeting new members is always fun, seeing the pups is wonderful also. ”
    • “ Too bad the ground was so muddy, but we had a great time. ”
    • Lizzy (+1 guest)
      “ I loved seeing all the Corgi's heard each other! It really was a Corgi Carnival! ”
    • “ Lots of fun for Corgis and their people. Treats and prizes, too. ”
    • “ Harley & I had such a wonderful time!!! And what a beautiful day!! ”
    • “ Fun galore! Great company, wonderful dogs! The best part of the holiday season so far! ”
    • “ We had a blast, even when our blanket turned into home base for the big dogs to play on. ”
    • billybuk3 (+1 guest)
      “ First time with our corgi and we had a very good time. ”
    • “ Really enjoy the meetups! Sometimes I find that people just stand around and don't mingle or join in conversations. Maybe just shy, but wish we could find a way to help people to meet others. The name tags are a very good idea. You might poll the group to see if others agree. Maybe we can ask people to share a corgi story or something like that. Just a thought-otherwise I really enjoy the meetups and Calvin has the very best time!!! ”
