Please note any special talents and/or abilities that you want to share with ORKC: (for example: teaching, stewarding, maintenance, cleaning, committee work, judging, lawn care, etc.) Maintenance of the ORKC buildings/property and conducting dog events are labor intensive activities. We cannot schedule/host trials and shows WITHOUT volunteers.

If you have a documented reason that you cannot perform any volunteer hours for the Club, please submit a letter and documentation to the ORKC Board via the Membership Chair: orkcmembershipchair@gmail.com
