MY, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

I f you didn’t have a calendar, would you know that any- thing has changed? Well, things certainly have changed. Here we are, six months into 2021, and the fact that you need to look at a calendar to check on the year is confirma- tion of just how different things have become. I think many of us thought that ringing in the new year would have quickly restored us to the lives that we had been living. Now, we realize that life is not that simple. Due to the events of the past year, we now know that when we rise after sleeping, everything may have changed overnight. If there is anything that can be learned from 2020 it’s this: Many of us now understand that the way to a better life is to live with purpose… in our thoughts and in our actions.

Let’s take this time, mid-year, to be grateful for one another.

I’ll start by taking this opportunity to welcome our new Cus- tomer Relationship Managers, Meegan Pierotti-Tietje and Ryan Tepera , to SHOWSIGHT and RING-READY . (I am sure ya’ll know them personally or are familiar with them.) Both Meegan and Ryan are energetic, intelligent, educated, ambitious, positive, and happy people who grew up in the sport, almost since birth. They are ecstatic to be serving the community and they’re exactly the kind of people we’ve always wished to have on our team. Most importantly, they are people with strong values who will serve you, the dog show community, with dedication and enthusiasm. To welcome Meeghan and Ryan and/or to discuss your 2021 advertising campaign plans, you may reach Meegan at 512-593- 5517 or meegan@showsightmagazine.com, and Ryan at 512-851- 1256 or ryan@showsightmagazine.com. We’ll look forward to seeing many of you at Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown, New York, for the 145th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The iconic show’s “summer season” is just another example of how things have changed. Let’s be grate- ful to the club and its members for their efforts to continue a tradition that honors the past while embracing the future. Wishing you a great day, everyday!

Yours Sincerely,

AJ ARAPOVIC, OWNER & PUBLISHER
