2024 Awards Ballots
The Sally Compton Award and the Rookie of the Year Award are the most prestigious awards that the club offers. The Compton award began in 1995, to acknowledge Sally Compton and her many, many years of service to the club which epitomized the true spirit of volunteerism. When voting, please remember you are voting for the member who consistently contributes to the club. It should be a member who frequently goes above and beyond the call of duty.
The Rookie award began in 2012, to honor individuals who have been a club member for three years or less and have shown outstanding service and contributions to the club. When voting, please remember you are voting for someone who consistently contributes to the club and has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Tails on the Trails at the Arboretum
FVDTC will be participating in Morton Arboretum's Tails on the Trails event on Sunday, May 4. We will spend the day talking to people about dogs, training, and -- of course -- FVDTC. There will also be an opportunity to demonstrate some of the things we do at the club, alongside our neighbors at Glenbard and the Medallion Rottweiler Club.
Why do you care? Because it's a great opportunity to see the park with your puppy. AND ... it's also a great opportunity to chat about our favorite pastime with some new friends. Sign up for a 2-hour time slot between 9:00am and 4:00pm and get free entry for the rest of the day.
See more about Tails on the Trails and contact Carol Nightingale to volunteer
One more thing -- if you have a canopy we can borrow for the day, please contact Carol Nightingale
