 Happy Birthday to all you New Bees!! |
|
|
Today (March 20, 2009) marks the 2nd birthday of the CFA New Bee Program. The first class was taught on this date as an experiment to see if the idea of a class just for new exhibitors was even feasible, and what it might include. From there, it evolved into a website and later became part of CFA's Mentor Program.
Looking back on the program, its members have taught me as much as I taught them. And you know, that's usually the way that things are in life - you're both teacher and student, the lesson and the learner. Knowledge has a way of flowing around and around. When it stops doing
that, it's often the result of a closed mind or attitude.
So, here's to all of our New Bees and to the New Bees yet to come! |

| New Addition - Points Charts |
|
|
We've had an article on how to calculate Grand points and Regional/National points up for some time now. http://cfanewbee.org/showtime/points.html However, this still causes a lot of confusion for new (and some old exhibitors).
We now have a couple of point charts up. There's a link to the pop-up grand point chart at the url above (or http://cfanewbee.org/showtime/Grand%20point%20table.jpg). Downloadable pdfs are also available on the Resources page http://cfanewbee.org/resources.htm (thanks to Lew Llewyllen for providing these charts!)
Later, there will also be a point calculating spreadsheet on the Resources page.
Just remember, these are to verify those points that you have already manually calculated!  I know, not all of us are great at math (and I include myself in that group!). However - I HAVE seen folks who are math=impared become math wizards when it comes to calculating points![/url] |

| New Article - Entry Forms |
|
|
| If you haven't see the new additions to the "Filling Out an Entry Form" (http://cfanewbee.org/Enter/entryblank.htm), check it out! There is now some additional information regarding color class numbers and descriptions - something that every exhibitor struggles with at some time or another. PLUS there is now a pop-up entry blank (http://cfanewbee.org/Enter/entryform_sample.html) which explains what all those fields on an entry blank mean, what the entry clerk uses them for, and how to ensure that the information you give is correct. |

| What benefits a new exhibitor most? |
|
|
As a new (or previously new) exhibitor:
1. What helped you the most when you first began exhibiting?
2. What would have helped you better?
This program began as an actual class and over the last year we've had folks teach a few classes throughout the country. However I'm observing that it's often difficult manage these classes in regards to scheduling and finding someone to teach it. (i.e. - people think it's a great idea, but difficult to impliment).
1. Is this something that you think is valuable enough to continue to persue
2. Would something else work better?
I know what my thoughts are - but I'm interested in yours!

|

Mail fee to:
6199 Boughton Ct. Greensboro, NC 27410
(make check out to Teresa; do not send to the entry clerk)
Now, I know someone is going to ask "why not just do a class during the show or on Saturday night so folks don't have to get there early?"
Well, if you have never been to National Capital, it's a rather big and very busy show - too busy to really do a good class at.....especially if you want to spend time seeing all the cats, visiting with folks, and shopping (and the shopping is always great!) And participants, if you later have a question or thought about anything we covered we'll all be at the show and we can discuss it then as well.
Here's hoping to lots of you new exhibitors there!
