MEETINGS & MEMBERSHIP

Eugene Kennel Club holds its general meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. on the 2nd floor of the Oddfellows' Lodge on 12th & Charnelton streets.  Join us!

We welcome new people of ALL ages and experience levels who wish to actively and positively contribute and support activities related to an AKC Licensed All-Breed club.  Members are expected to contribute their energy, time, and enthusiasm towards the advancement of RESPONSIBLE and LOVING dog ownership, ETHICAL and PRUDENT breeding and TRAINING practices, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and SPORTSMANSHIP.

 

Members are expected to attend and contribute to meetings and special events such as shows, matches, obedience trials, as well as public education and social events.

 

To receive an application for membership, you must first attend at least two general meetings.  At the second meeting, you can request an application from the club secretary.  You will need to complete the application, and obtain the signatures of two EKC members in good standing, as sponsors, who will vouch for your character, breeding practices, animal husbandry, and approval of basic facilities and care via a visit to your home and kennel.

 

At the two general meetings following submission of your application and dues, an officer of the club will read your application aloud to the general membership, then ask for public comments from both your sponsors and the membership at large.  At the second meeting, your application will be voted upon, and you will be notified of whether it was approved or disapproved.

 

Non-members wishing to positively contribute are welcome to attend the General Meetings.  Membership is not required.

 

We welcome you!  Please contact our Corresponding Secretary for more information.
