Now as the PC continues to lose revenue, we yet again want to lower the
standard bar for no other reason than to generate revenue. At the end of the
day, we should ask ourselves if Von Stephanitz would approve of our
continuing to lower the standard bar for the breed he designed.
As to the revenue, I read with interest the report in the Review. What I
came up with is that we are spending too much money. The only suggestion was
to limit the number of board meetings, and maybe reduce the size of the
board.
I noticed in the same issue we now have 66 committees in this club. Do we
need all of those for the size of the membership?
As to what Von Stephanitz would want, I wouldn't even want to ask. First of
all he is dead. Second he was on prejudiced individual who didn't like
what was being shown, so decided to make a designer dog. Third, thanks for
some good intentioned people we have build a strong superior breed that looks
nothing like what Von Stephanitz bred.
We haven't lowed the standard. Todays German shepherd is far superior to
anything that was being shown 100 years ago.
My suggestion is to cut the committees to four, the board to five and the
national to three days. Stop having four meeting a year, two is enough.
Conduct the club business on the phone or e-mail, communicate the old
fashioned way, by computer, and make everyone stay within the budget.
It seems simple to me, but then again, I am a simple person.
