2009 Border Terrier Club of America National Specialty Fundraisers and Donations

|
The BTCA will observe two special anniversaries in 2009. Not only is the BTCA turning 60 in 2009,
but the 2009 Specialty will be the BTCA's 50th National Specialty!!!
Sponsor 2009 National Specialty Trophies
2009 is the 50th Anniversary of our Wonderful BTCA National Specialty. For this VERY Special Specialty we
have identified several different ways that you can participate by sponsoring trophies for single class placements
or sponsoring an entire class.
I am very pleased to announce that Damara Bolte has agreed to design and create truly special trophies for the 2009
Specialty. Ms. Bolte will be sculpting both a Border Terrier head AND a full body Border Terrier that will be used
in bas relief on a number of different pewter trophies. These trophies will be awarded to all placements in Puppy
Sweepstakes, Veteran Sweepstakes, Conformation (including Working and Veteran), Juniors, Breeders, Stud Dog, Brood
Bitch, Brace, Team, Agility, Obedience and new Earthdog Titles.
To sponsor a Single Class Placement the cost will be: $50.00.
To sponsor an Entire Class Placement the cost will be: $175.00.
A Master List will be kept of all of the class sponsorships. You may call me with a class placement or class that
you wish to sponsor. I will tentatively hold your placement for one week while you send your check to me. If I don't
receive your check within one week, then I will need to remove the hold to allow others to sponsor that class.
Checks should be made out to "BTCA".
