Should we base our National locations on how few object and complaint, or on how few attend? Also, is our National only about the dog show, or is is a function of our club, and an event designed for the membership? Is it just another dog show, and the intent is to make the most money possible? Is the purpose of our National to make sure we have the largest entry we can, and nevermind who it disenfranchises? These are a few of the questions we need to answer. I have the answers for myself, but I only speak for one of the little people, me. Our board represents the entire membership. Not those clustered in the midwest freezing right now, not the most populous state, California. They don't only represent the three members in North Dakota, nor do they only represent those who are in the North East and support one candidate for president. They represent us all. The GSDCA is a club, it is not a business. It is non profit, not a corporation trying to increase the bottom line. These questions are just a few of what should be considered when it is again questioned on how to set our National locations. And the question will come up again. I have faith in our board, Nancy who will make suggestions, and the membership who will be heard. Not, how few complain. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
