The on-line version will be free, but the paper Review must be paid for.
(WHY? How many "lifetime members" are there that would throw the club
into poverty?) I am on the computer a couple hours per day and I have to
tell you, it hurts my eyes. (I am legally blind without glasses, so I do
not want my poor eyes to get any worse!) I am a reader; I like to hold the
Review and other books & magazines in my hands. With the paper Review, I
can re-distribute it to my vet's which is what I do now. It's a
puzzlement: I have a few more years to decide what to do (or NOT to do)
about the lifetime membership dilemma. Right now, in the heat of the
moment, I am leaning toward not staying a member of the GSDCA, but who
knows?

We need to offer the option that if you are a lifetime member, you can
refuse the Review, and avoid those costs. Is that available?

well according to message from Frank, and hearing from Zoe. Lifetime
members never got the review free, just membership to the club. So if they
wanted the review it has always been that they paid for it, now they get
the on line version free. However, someone I believe posted that they were
a lifetime member and never was asked to pay for the review, which I assume
that person was still getting. So I am confused, does lifetime membership
include a hard copy of the review or not or does it depend on who it is?

I hear you loud and clear. Joined in 1980 and continued ever since. What
for?

I will be a lifetime member of the GSDCA in a few short years. I LOVE THE
REVIEW magazine. I got the membership changes e-mail, which states that
lifetime members will only get the online Review free; the printed magazine
will be $45 a year. Who was the idiot who thought up THIS brilliant idea?
Just found a reason NOT to renew. What a reward for 40 year members. This
seems like a concerted effort to 1. get rid of older members or 2. get rid
of the printed Review. Sucks to be me or anyone else who has stuck through
this club through thick and thin.
