Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club's 2008 Membership Drive

The Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club Membership Drive for 2008

The CISC memberships run from the end of Dec to Dec regardless of when you join the club, the club membership renewal application is published four times a year in the CISC newsletter at the end of Club business, it is also posted once a month on the Yahoo Chat Group as well as being available on the club website at

It has been noted at this time that a number of folks have not renewed their 2008 club memberships yet and this would mean that without renewal, no more wonderful CISC newsletters will be arriving in your mail box, nor would you be eligable to earn CISC club awards or titles. We encourage everyone to consider renewing their memberships.


As of Dec 31st 2007, if you have not renewed your membership all club listings on the website will be removed, Starting March 1st of 2008, we will be using the three months mark as a cut off period for renewals from there on in. If you do not renew within the first three months of the new year, your membership will be considered new.


The board would like to consider putting forth the idea of a pet membership for ten dollars canadian, that means the members get all newsletters and can send in all their brags and dog photos etc, but are not voting members, we also think this is a great offer to be used for our club breeders, this would allow you to get a years membership for your puppy owners at half price if you desire.


It has recently come to our attention that in the future, when we move forward to earn formal CKC national club status, (which at this time is not possable until we have membership within more of the official regions of Canada, that all our club members at that time must have CKC membership as well. At this time, we do not require our regular members to also have CKC membership. However in the future when the time does come to move the breed forward, membership will either need to join CKC in order to be a member of the CISC or they will need to let their membership laspe.


The CKC considers having all club members part of the CKC, a move of good faith on behalf of the club, its our understanding that after we get full approve, that the club will again have the option of allowing memberships without needing them to have CKC memberships.


It is a exciting year ahead of us in the CISC, and we look fowrard to sharing it with you.
