Hmmm , interesting E-mails from this person. Jean has been Show Chair since 1999. Our phone number and fax as well as the phone numbers of other club members AND the show secretary are well publicized in the premium list, and the monthly Newsletter. All work very hard and are very interested in making the San Bernardino/Riverside GSDC shows the best they can be. Jean and I have been at the Mission circuit shows on Friday and Saturday. Jean collected entries and changes from a number of exhibitors and delivered them to the Show Secretary, Eileen Parr, on Saturday, prior to closing. Kenny had given the change for the dog he finished on Friday to Jean and it was included in those documents. Eileen made a special trip on Saturday to meet Jean to pick up these last minute entries and changes. I can respond that Kenny Tank approached Jean yesterday at the show and commented that Kathy hadn't been able to reach Eileen. Jean immediately dialed Eileen on her cell phone and handed the phone to Ken who then spoke to Eileen. (Seems strange that we haven't seen a bunch of emails about that phone call!) We received a number of calls here at our house from people with questions and others who wanted a premium list. We responded to these requests within 24 hours. If I seem perturbed about this, your are right. Not one phone call to us by Kathy, but she takes the time to publish four emails to the List? What is wrong with this picture? It seems to me there is something wrong with the picture of someone needlessly blasting a club and their show secretary. I must point out that the AKC provides procedures to move a dog up, or change classes, etc. They are written in the AKC Guidelines for Dog shows. AND, it shouldn't be necessary to point out that the hard working folks who put on our shows deserve a bit of appreciation for their efforts on your behalf.

Again this year there is NO answer on her phone, or machine, no response to my fax, and no response to my email. Entries close this evening, and I would think a show secretary might want to respond to inquiries from people who have entered this show????? This is the second year in a row we have had this issue. Is ANYONE from the Riverside Sbdo club going to respond here???? It is not only odd , but frustrating when the very person responsible for entries is in NO way attempting to return ANY form of communication to it's entrants. I am trying to do a move up, and a catalog change before close....but I again this year get NOTHING from the show sec'y.....NOTHING. Kathy Tank, who will try emailing ,calling and faxing yet again. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
