Fall Election for 3 Directors
There are three directors whose terms expire at the end of 2008. Those are Brice Romero, Stu Wange, and Joe Bubulka. It is unclear if any or all of them will run for re-election. We will have an election commencing in October. At this time the APLA is solicting for those members who wish to run for a 2 year term.

The requirements are to be a current member in good standing. You need to submit your nomination letter no later than September 20th. This letter needs to or should contain the following items.
*The office you are running for. Here it is director.
*Why you feel you would make a good director.
*Any goals or objectives for the APLA you would have if you were elected.
*Your length of membership with the APLA.
*Amount of and type of APLA officer or event experience as well as other dog organizations.

*Your letter must contain your name, address, phone number, and email address.
*And lastly your letter must contain 10 current members who support your nomination and whose permission you have attained. List their addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. (Double check this information for completeness and accuracy. Nine current members won't pass, it takes 10 members.)

Online Hunt Test Registration System - Friday, August 8, 2008
MEMBERS STILL NEED TO MAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO THE HUNT TEST SECRETARIES!

On line entry of dogs by members is not yet available. This phase is for the hunt test record keeping only. This past Spring season, APLA successfully rolled out version 1.2 of our custom built Hunt Test Registration System (HTRS)! All Spring HT results are available on http://www.americanpointinglab.com/site/Dogs/tabid/108/Default.aspx.

In case you have not heard about our new system, HTRS is an online, password protected, application which will allow real time access to membership data as well as certification data. The following features and benefits were included in this release of the software.

* Membership information as well as certification information can be cross checked and updated in a prompt manner.

* Hunt Test Secretaries can easily enter test scores which will lead to quicker certificate generation.

* Improve the turn around time from Hunt Test Events to the results being posted online.

* New accounting reporting features:
> Ability to enter one payment to cover multiple entries.
> Refunds for scratch entries (if applicable).
> Create income summary report.

* Allow BOD Secretary to add/update memberships on line (mail-in only).

* Add bird count report enabling HT secretaries to keep track of birds.

* Enhanced Reports
> Alternate row shading for easier viewing.
> Input translation to ALL CAPs when HTS enters data all lower case or proper case so reports and HT Booklet looks uniform.

* Enhanced scoring for quicker certificate generation.
> Add owner name and address to score report.

* Enhanced judge's sheets program allows HT secretaries to print judge's sheets at once.

Definitely NOT in white.
If we're going to "show our colors", the shirts would need to be of a color that could be worn at tests.

I like it. When I ordered the t-shirt from the website, the logo is so small. I would like a different color too. Maybe moss green.

Jim- I hear ya. The data base is being worked on-there is hope.
Doc- I do not think that white is a problem at the APLA tests-Is it banned at other venues? Would a Light Grey be accepted?

The thing with using alternate color shirts as the base is that I would then have to place the artwork into a white background which increases the
color count used and also the colors themself may need adjusted... I can toy with this but would really need to settle on a single color for now. Just throwing this out for fun and to see what the response would be.

I'd sign up for one, but I'd rather it be grey than white...I know what you mean about changing the colors-I had to do that some with the pink sweatshirts. I bet everything except the gold would be ok on a grey shirt-you might have to darken the gold a little.

I'll take two, white is fine with me, large or x large depending on the shrink value, These may not be shirts you want to wear on the line, but they will be perfect for the circle of wisdom that seems to follow most hunt tests of late...

Well- I tried to put a white background in-so that the artwork could then be put onto dark colors but have not been able to get that to work. I do know from this esercise that adding white as an extra color really jacks up the price as does trying to make small runs on different color shirts. Here is an example on a light green colored shirt-was wondering if everyone would be happy with this?
