Just curious. Ray I never thought I would disagree with Ray, but I see why you should never say never. <G> Of course they are totally dedicated. But you mean to tell me that they are the ONLY dedicated people in our breed? And that the shortage of these overly dedicated people is such that both clubs have to share the same people over and over? Come on, you can see how unrealistic that is. I only wish this bunch of overly dedicated people would take the time to sponsor new people to do just what they do. Kind of an apprenticeship program. That way there are always lots of volunteers to work, and the perception of power hungry and greediness would be avoided.
