Willow Rock's Sally Ann
Earned a C-ATCH !!!
Yesterday at a local CPE trial, Rebecca and Sally earned their C-ATCH under judge Daniel "Jay" Jones! Rebecca was so busy since it was her first time as Chief Ring Steward that she didn't have much time to think about getting the C-ATCH. Sally is 9 days from her 13 th birthday and is still running like a champ - she finished her C-ATCH in style with a Q-1st !
Thanks for letting me share. J
