Within the next several days, many of us will be heading off to the National Specialty in Rhode Island. This will be a week full of competition and fun and education for Newf lovers. Everyone is invited, and we encourage you to take part. If you cannot be there in person, be sure to follow the events that will be updated daily on the National Specialty web site.
Join us for the Annual Meeting of the Membership of the Newfoundland Club of America at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the Crowne Plaza at the Crossings in Warwick, Rhode Island. This meeting will immediately follow the National Specialty Welcome Reception. Membership has its privileges--but it also has its responsibilities, and attending this meeting is one of them. We need a quorum in order to conduct the business of the club--but just as much as your presence, we want your ideas, opinions, and enthusiasm. Your input and vote are important. We'll look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember - everyone is welcome to attend! NCA members should sign in and pick up their voting card at the door. See you in Rhode Island!
As always, we want to hear from you. Email us at any time with your comments and suggestions.

Your NCA Board of Directors recognizes the value and prevalence of social networking systems, such as Facebook™, email lists, and blogs. Sometimes the rise of this entirely new class of communication has been accompanied by what has come to be viewed as cyber-harassment. Those engaged in cyber-harassment post negative comments and half or fabricated truths, often in a sarcastic manner, about individuals who cannot defend themselves. Members of the Newfoundland Club of America should consider social networking communication as public and, as such, understand that their comments reflect on themselves and the NCA. Members should consider carefully what and how they write and are encouraged to stress positive aspects of education rather than negative or sarcastic comments about owners, breeders, and/or Newfoundland fanciers.
