Meetings
General Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 8 pm (except for July and August). Our Program Chairperson provides the membership with an interesting session at 7:30 P.M. at each of our regular meetings. Although sometimes on the lighter side, they are usually educational and presented by experts in their fields – veterinarians, handlers, judges etc. In the field of dogs, there is no end to learning. If you are interested in learning more about the LVKC, we invite you to attend our meetings as our guest. Please contact our membership chairperson Fran Jarvis at (610)867-7796 between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM for more information. Our meeting site is at Macungie Memorial Park in Macungie PA. The meetings are held inside the stone building, lower level.
