STCA This and That...STCA 2014 Nominating Committee is in place:Kathleen J. Ferris, PA - Chairperson Richard Lawn, NM - Karen Prokopetz, CN - Jean Rose, PA - Maxine Stickler, KY - Bill deVilleneuve, NY (First Altnerate) - Glenda Tucker, GA (Second Alternate). From STCA Rescue Trust:The Rescue Trust Fund of the Scottish Terrier Club of America sincerely thanks those who donated with their dues renewals as well as those making year-end donations to help provide medical care to our Scottie rescues in need across the country. Your generosity is very much appreciated. We have all but completed sending out acknowledgements for the donations, later ones are still being processed and have not made it to us quite yet. This year, in order to direct as much of each donation as possible towards helping the dogs, we are sending acknowledgements primarily via email if an email address is provided. We know our donors want to see their donations count as much as possible for the purpose they intended them. Although we are still waiting to hear back from a handful of our rescue affiliates on their 2013 rescue totals, we are just under 500 at this point in our tally results from the yearly rescue survey. We thank our rescue network for another year of sacrifices to help those of our breed who need us!
