Letter from Vickie
In a couple weeks we'll be celebrating the 2011-2012
International Winners at our Annual Awards Banquet in Columbus
Ohio. Although I'll have the chance to hopefully congratulate
each and every one of our winners in person, I want to say
a "hearty congratulations" to all of our TICA members and
exhibitors who may not be able to make this year's event!
If you can't get to this year's show or banquet hosted
by the Great Lakes Cat Consortium, then please send your
best wishes to your friends and fellow exhibitors from around
the world. We won't forget any of you who traveled far and
wide to show your kitties, and competed with these winners.
Achieving an International win is what each of us strive
for, but every cat, kitten, alter, household pet or household
pet kitten competing at TICA shows have won in their own
right.
Give your kitties a big hug because they're "international
winners" in their own right by competing at TICA-sanctioned
shows!
Let's celebrate,
Vickie Fisher
TICA President

Cats Take On Downtown Columbus
If you happen to live in the Columbus, Ohio area, don't
be surprised by the larger-than-life cats that you'll see
on signs around downtown, or on the sides of local buses.
The Great Lakes Cat Consortium worked with Helmi and Ken
Flick who designed three different ads for TICA's 2012 Annual
International Cat Show. The ads are designed to capture
the attention of cat lovers and drive them to the show!
Thank you Helmi and Ken for showing off TICA cats proudly!
