"The Storrowton Tavern"
TarTan Gordon Setter Club, Inc.
2005 Annual Banquet

General Membership Meeting
and Awards Presentation
On the evening of February 19, 2005, the TarTan Gordon Setter Club welcomed its membership to The Storrowton Tavern in West Springfield, Massachusetts for our Annual Awards Banquet and General Membership meeting. The Tavern is situated within historical Storrowton Village Museum, an authentic recreation of a 19th century village on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition. The charm of this old Inn embraced our 43 attending members resulting in a superb, comfortable evening for all.

The highlight of the evening was honoring 25 of our beloved black and tans for their accomplishments in the field, agility, obedience, and the conformation ring during the calendar year 2004. We were also pleased to acknowledge an additional 5 dogs for their outstanding accomplishments during the calendar year 2003. Our President Larry Clifford stepped in for Award Chair Phyllis Perrelli, who was unable to attend, and presented the awards to our deserving members.

Special recognition was given to two members for their outstanding contributions during the year. Maureen McLatchy, heightened our awareness of Agility Trials. She organized and ran (almost single-handedly), this extremely profitable venture for TarTan. More importantly, through her example and success in Agility, she has encouraged many new and old members to participate with their dogs in this venue. Lynn Tenny donated her time, expertise, and creativity by designing a website for TarTan that is surpassed by none. Lynn has taken TarTan to another level in the computer age. She has been extremely generous with her talent and TarTan will reap the benefits of her gracious giving and multi-talent. Thank you to both of these outstanding members of 2004.

Our guest speaker, Dr. Ann Huntington, who practices in Suffield, CT, is a nationally recognized reproduction specialist who has the third largest reproduction practice in the country. She spoke on the subject of “Advances in Fresh Chilled and Frozen Insemination”. She generously answered questions for our members following her presentation. We were honored to have her as our guest speaker.

Another accent of the evening was our Raffle coordinated by TarTan’s own WonderWoman - Cynthia Fitzgerald! Her assistants Sue Linhares, guest Colleen O’Brien, Lynn Tenny, and Laura Bedford, arranged, labeled, sorted and harmonized the display of goods to perfection. Soliciting sales of raffle tickets was TarTan finest – Bill Fralick. As testimony to his charm, wit, and handsome looks, he sold a record number of raffle tickets increasing the Club’s coffers by over $400.

Lastly, I would like to thank all who shared in this occasion, new and old friends with lots of smiles - just the way we like it at TarTan – A Family Affair.
