my response: If THEY ARE US.........then why aren't THEY US???? WHY do we need an entire separate slate and why do we have a separate membership roster and an entirely different nomination and election??? Why do they need specific moneys different than our own GSDCA Organization and membership? IF the reason no longer exists.........why does the situation and separation still exist?? Wonder if those running on the slate for the WDA might consider answering these questions??? My apologies......I have not been on the computer and have been doing a lot of deleting to clear my e-mail......I came into this thread in the middle and have deleted a lot......what am I missing?? Why ARE we separate entities?? Why are we not privy to their membership roster and information and.......etc. if they ARE US? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Carolyn You hit it right on the head. Now try and get the answers to these questions. !!!!! We keep being told the WDA is a committee of the PC -So why isn't it treated that way Too much double talk Sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
