We're Kathy and Leo Notenboom, and two or three times a year we hold Corgi gatherings at our home in Woodinville, a suburb of Seattle. This site is where you'll find the latest information.
Thanks to everyone who came! We had perfect weather, a great crowd, lots of fun and food, and managed to raise $450 for CorgiAid in the process.
A big thanks to my wife Kathy for working hard for perhaps the most organized picnic ever
. And to Linda Taylor for helping out, and Jean Clements-Macak
for running the silent auction again this year.
Update: it was a great time! The weather cooperated - good friends and good dogs all had a good time.

It's been a long, cold, wet and often white winter. The cure: some serious frapping!
All are welcome for "A Woodinville Corgi Afternoon"
- May 30th, 2009 (Saturday)
- Noon until whenever
- Leo & Kathy Notenboom's home in Woodinville, WA (a Seattle suburb)
Not everyone wants to get all the email from various mailing lists, nor monitor the groups or forums that I might announce our events on, so I've created a private, announce-only mailing list.
The Pacific Nortwest seems to be a Corgi-rich enviroment! We have lots of Corgis and Corgi owners in the area, and keep stumbling upon more all the time.
Here's a list of discussion and meetup groups that I'm aware of that have particular relevance to the Pacific Northwest:
The 2008 Pacific Northwest Corgi Picnic was a great time!
What a great time we had ... estimate of well over 40 Corgis and over 50 people made this perhaps the largest Pacific Northwest Corgi Picnic ever. And the weather cooperated perfectly - the sun came out after a cool morning for near-perfect conditions making for a great get-together.
A few of the photos I took are here on the Corgi-L photo Gallery (also re-posited on my Flickr photostream). In particular the panorama of 5 photos stitched together for an over 180 degree view above will give you a bit of a sense of what the fuss is all about. (Be sure to click through to full size :-).
I want to thank everyone who came - it was a good time. I also want to thank Jean Clements-Macak for organizing the silent auction. We raised over $626 for CorgiAid, another record!

Thanks again to all, and see you next year!
