The July Laurel meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 14, 2001, and will consider the letters of intent dated March.
Not all letters of intent may be considered when they are originally scheduled on this cover letter. The date of mailing of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, etc.) have not yet been met.
REMINDER: Until the packet containing the paperwork is received, the letter may not be scheduled.
Another case of Dogs and Wolves
One of the items pended this month involves a conflict call between a talbot and a wolf. As we are currently discussing whether to give a CD between a greyhound and a wolf, I am expanding that discussion to include talbots vs. wolves.  Please send commentary on that topic by June, 2001.
Pended items
I’ve been getting very little commentary on pended items. It is essential that these items be checked as well as letters of intent; that was why they were pended. Please remember to examine pended items as well.
