Our Upcoming Meetings & Registration

Our February 3rd Dessert Sponsor is Linda Jarvis of Lynaire Kennels.

I originally grew up on Long Island.  I moved to Morehead City in 1977.  I spent 25 years as the Administrator of Carteret Surgical Associates.  I began showing Aireda le terriers in 1980s. I had a small hobby kennel at my home and quickly found my friends asking me to board their dogs. At that time there was also no place I would leave my dogs. An idea was born! We opened Lynaire Kennels in December 1994. In 1998 I moved to New Bern.  I met and married James in 2004. I have shown many dogs to their Championship and have served on the board of the Airedale Terrier Club of America including 2 years as President.


Member Testimonials

  "When I joined, I had recently taken a position with a regional mortgage company. I was responsible for my own leads and I wanted to get more plugged in to the New Bern Community. While I have received new business directly from my association with CWF, the benefits I have received are far more intangible but no less meaningful for me."

- Nelda Coats

"When I moved to New Bern, I knew that I wanted to finally get involved with my community. I joined CWF in 2019, not knowing anyone. I was the type of person who liked to "blend in with the wallpaper." With the support and the friendship that I have made, I have come out of my shell, and I am so happy that I took the chance on this organization."

- Michelle Douglas

"I joined to expand my professional network, which I did do, but an even better bonus was the good friends I made." 

- Beth Cooper
