Metropolitian Area Papillon Club

Metropolitan Area Papillon Club of Washington DC, Inc.    

The Metropolitan Area Papillon Club of Washington DC, Inc., MAP, is a nonprofit organization conceived to protect the Papillon breed and serve as an educational tool for the general public and club members.

  In the mid ‘70s, a loosely organized band of Papillon supporters created the Mid Atlantic Papillon Club, aka MAP, later to become The Metropolitan Area Papillon Club of Washington D.C., Inc. Their first formal organizational meeting and election of officers was held after the Papillon classes at the Baltimore County K.C. show on Sunday, Nov. 21, 1976. This historic event was followed by the groups first fun match on Sunday July 17, 1977. The match was preceded by the first annual pool party with smoked turkey and HAGs on Saturday the 16th. This gathering became associated with the club's early fund raising event, an annual auction which, to this day, provides financial backing for MAP’s endeavors.
