The membership process includes attending six meetings and

volunteering for two days each year. Most often, this involves

helping set up, assisting during, or taking down our dog show.

From time to time, there are additional opportunities as well, such as giving a dog-themed presentation at a local library or helping staff a booth at a community event.

 

During this process, you’ll complete a simple application, which is shared with the membership before a vote is held for acceptance. Annual membership dues are very affordable—less than $10 per person. Members also receive a club polo shirt and name tag.

 

We meet monthly at the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds in Lodi. General Membership meetings are typically held on the fourth Tuesday of each month, and everyone is encouraged to participate—every member has a voice.

 

A few meetings throughout the year have a slightly different format. For example, we host a BBQ/picnic and a club-sponsored dinner for members. Most meetings include a brief educational segment led by one of our education chairs or a guest speaker. We also rotate bringing refreshments like coffee and treats, which adds to the friendly, social atmosphere.
