SEA-PAH Elections

 

The nominations for the 2025 SEA-PAH board of directors are in! This month all SEA-PAH members in good standing will receive their ballot via email. The election results will be announced at the annual general meeting in January. 

Bylaws and Code of Conduct Review Committee

Calling all members! We're excited to announce a project to update our Bylaws and Code of Conduct. These documents haven't been reviewed in several years, and we want to ensure they accurately reflect our evolving community and best practices.

A dedicated committee formed by the Board of Directors will oversee the process. Their mission is to gather community input on potential improvements to both documents.

Here's how you can get involved:

• Share your thoughts: We encourage you to share your suggestions through this Google Form: Link to Google Form.
• Join the committee: If you're interested in actively contributing to the process by shaping the future of our community, we encourage you to apply to join the committee. Apply through this Google Form: Link to Committee Application.

Your input is invaluable! Participating in this initiative will help us create a set of Bylaws and a Code of Conduct that reflects the needs of our community and fosters a positive and inclusive environment for all.

Applications close December 10th

SEA-PAH’s Annual Howliday Mosh

 

 

We’re happy to announce our annual Holiday Mosh happening again this year at the Cuff! Come celebrate the holidays with your fellow pups, pets and handlers Dec 14th! This year we’re starting at noon to make room for even more tail-wagging fun, including a festive white elephant gift exchange, the return of Wrapped Up Runway, and more!

 

Our White elephant gift exchange is sponsored by Doghouse Leathers

 

Our Holiday Mosh is followed by FetchNW’s Frostbite at The Crocodile

Best In Show 

 

 

Best in Show is SEA-PAH’s annual charity fundraiser, loosely based on the Jennifer Coolidge movie of the same name. Contestant pairs, composed of a pup/pet and handler, compete in a series of challenges and get scored by our judges. The audience can then “bribe” our judges to raise the score of their favorite competitors. The bribes are all donated to our charity of choice, this year being Lambert House. 

 

This year we are excited to be partnering up with OnyxNW and Onyx Pearls as our handlers for the evening. 

 

Are you interested in volunteering or competing? Email board@seapah.org and let us know!

Dungeons and Doggies

Dungeons & Doggies | Thursday December 19th, 2:30pm

 

Have you ever seen games like Dungeons & Dragons and wanted to play, but been too intimidated to learn or struggled to find a group? Well on Thursday, December 19th at 2:30pm meet up with Asher & other folks at Phoenix Comics and Games for a special tabletop afternoon! This month we are playing Dungeons & Dragons & Pathfinder 2nd Edition, so come by to create & then learn to play a character & the game in a short single session adventure!

 

The first hour of this event is dedicated to character creation, so if you have already made a character come by around 3:30-4pm to hop into a one-shot, or come by at 2:30pm to help people make characters or play short board games while you wait! Interested in being a GM? Send a message on Telegram to @AsherThePup & he can answer any questions or concerns and provide resources for the task.

Due to legal reasons, in 2023 PR could not call it the Howl-iday mosh. We found a loophole though, as long as our VP Tye didn't write it, we can say it. Thanks for taking one for the team Cole!
