TKC Members are Awarded Recognition

TKC values its members and appreciates the time and effort every member puts into helping to

make TKC a successful kennel club.

​

At the present time there are three awards given to members.

​

Member of the Year Service Recognition Award

Presented at the Awards Ceremony in February

This award is given in recognition of a long-time member who has supported TKC in various

capacities over the years.

​

Generally members are chosen based on the number of years they have been members and the

various roles they have played throughout that time in helping to make TKC successful.

​

A member is recognized at the TKC yearly awards ceremony and dinner held in February each

year. A framed certificate is given noting the number of years they have been a member. A

copy of their membership application (if available) is placed in a folder and given to them as

well. Also, an item such as a custom tumbler is given to the member.

​

There are many worthy members. Those chosen have been through a committee vote.

Honorary Membership Award

Presented at a Membership Meeting (time and date tbd)

This award is given in recognition of a long-time member who has served many years in

support of TKC. This member may have had to discontinue participating in membership

meetings, classes and events but still would like to remain in some capacity a member. They

may still want to receive various notifications including notice of meetings, events, etc. and also

to receive a membership list each year.

​

Each year a member is chosen by committee vote and awarded an Honorary Membership. They

will no longer be required to pay membership dues, but their name will remain on the

membership list indefinitely.
