1975 Newsletter Excerpts |
Author's note:
Newsletter # 6, the first of 1975, introduced new member Pat Warren and her first Somali, L'air De Rauch Rocky Raccoon. Registration information, so important to breeders and associations in keeping the records of the new breed, was printed as follows: CFF REMINDER
Don't forget to do a litter registration before
you do your individual registrations. The
deadline is coming up soon (March -- so we've
enclosed a litter registration for your
convenience. Please don't delay, it takes a while
before the litter slips come back -- then more
time is wasted untill individual registrations
are done.

Newsletter # 8
|
The following new members were introduced:
Transfer of ownership:
Bev Reilly has a new kitten!
SCCA had "Moon" at the CFA Madison Square Garden show 3/15 & 16 (to represent the Somali). Many people showed favorable interest and our list for kittens increased. (reference is to ruddy male Somali June's Dancing Moon, who was the club's logo cat.) |

The May 1975 newsletter added the following
new members:
CCA Special
2. We need a xerox of each Somalis pedigree. Once again, please mail the xerox to E. Mague. 3. Lastly, we need a xerox of each Somalis CCA Certificate of Registration. (the one with the big gold seal) If you have already done any of the above, great. Then all that's to be done is to xerox and mail the xerox's. But please don't delay, this is a lot of information to gather together (from a lot of different people). The earlier this starts coming in the easier it will be when the time comes to apply for recognition. With the start of the new show season, we have a new goal. The focus of our attention is recognition in CCA (championship status). To obtain this goal we are asking the cooperation of all Somali owners All Somali Cat Club members are urged to join CCA as a member. Dues are $5.00 for a single, $7.50 for family membership (we recommend a family membership - it counts as two people). Be sure to designate your breed as Somali.
Somalis have done well this past year. They achieved championship status in *three of the eight associations (with our help). They have gained many new friends, just look at how our membership list has grown. Our membership list has more than doubled since the first newsletter last June. Not bad!
It is now time to name the TOP FIVE SOMALIS OF 1974. We counted the points and came up with the following: |
|
#1 June's Dancing Moon (29 points)
#2 Du-Ro-Al's Samson of Lynn-Lee (26 points) #3 Lynn-Lee's Pollyanna (17 points) #4 Margus Tafne (10 points) #5 Mei-Len's Sunflower of Margus (9 points) #5 Saffron's Falstaf of Lynn-Lee, red (9 points) |
Note: These awards are for the 1974-75 show season, not calendar year 1974) |

CCA
Well, some progress has been made in obtaining xeroxes of CCA registrations, pedigrees and membership cards, but NOT ENOUGH! We still haven't enough to meet requirements for recognition. Once again - here is what we need!
1. Xerox of CCA registration (certificate with gold seal) 2. Xerox of pedigree (signed by breeder - any association will do) 3. Xerox of CCA membership cardWe don't have much time left, so please don't delay. It would be a shame to loose another year because a few people couldn't be bothered getting a few xeroxes. COME ON - we know we have the CATS all we need are those xeroxes!

Somali Awards
Please note: The SCCA Awards and CATS MAGAZINE Awards differ. The reason being that CATS MAGAZINE counts only the championship shows, SCCA counts all shows regardless of status. Be sure to watch for the photos and ads honoring our top Somalis.

Transfer of Ownership
Lynn-Lee's Catfish
CCA Well, the CCA xeroxes are on their way. We more than met the requirements - the minimum was twenty cats and six memberships, we sent them a whopping thirty nine cats (pedigrees and certificates) and eighteen memberships. Now all we can do is wait for the annual and keep our fingers crossed. I want to thank all of you who sent us xeroxes and helped us to make this impressive showing to CCA.
CENTRAL PEDIGREE FILE With all the pedigrees sent to us for CCA, we found that we had the beginnings of a central file of Somali pedigrees. So we are now in the process of making up sketch pedigrees (just names, no numbers). These pedigrees will be available to everyone, we will start taking orders for the sets sometime in the near future. They will have to be ordered and paid for in advance. The cost of the entire set is $5.00 (our cost for xeroxes and mailing).
Lets welcome a new member

CCA RESULTS
As some of you already know, the CCA annual meeting was held in Oct. One of the topics of discussion was championship status for the Somali. Well, all the hard work of accumulating xeroxes paid off. The Somali was recognized, and is now eligible for championship in CCA. Our special thanks go to Sheila & Fritz Bos for supporting & representing us at the annual. Others in attendence were Bev Reilly, Mara Senkevics and Laura and Lois Saker.

New Kitten
ACA ACA is our next GOAL. Here is a list of things to do to gain recognition.
1. Register your cattery with ACA. 2. Register your Somali kittens and cats in ACA. They must be litter registered before individual registrations. All kittens in the litter must be Somalis even if some are shorthairs. 3. Transfer your Somalis to STUD BOOK if registered ANCESTRY. This is very important. Please get out your registrations and check them - stud book status is new for the Somali. 4. Please notify Evelyn when your cattery is registered. Also, please send Evelyn a list of: a. number of cats and kittens registered b. the names of those cats c. the stud book number d. your cattery name 5. ACA requires that 50 cats be shown in an ACA show (50 different cats). So if you've ever shown your Somali or intend to in an ACA show, please send Evelyn Mague the following information: a. name of club sponsoring the show b. place c. name of cat shown d. ACA registration number |
