CDMA Board

Dixie Waddell
We will miss you!

The CDMA Board of Directors is establishing a Memorial Fund to honor Dixie Waddell, a pillar of the dog mushing community. Dixie dedicated countless hours as our club president, community liaison, and historian. She served over 20 years on the Board of Directors - more than any other club member. 
 
Dixie was especially instrumental in establishing the trail system and facilities in Beach Lake Park. CDMA will name the timing tower in Dixie's honor and dedicate the Memorial Fund towards the sled dog trails and facilities she helped to create.
 
Dixie’s friendship and lasting contributions to our community will never be forgotten. Her leadership and generosity remains an inspiration to us all.​
For all who wish to contribute to this fund, please donate online at CDMA Donation, or send a check to:
