OK, I tried that and it didn't work. Now I have another question. I signed on to the official GSDCA-WDA page and now I seem to be getting notifications every time someone posts to it. How do I stop that? I'm going to have to go read that little $1.00 book I purchased about Facebook and haven't had time to look at. Tish In a message dated 2/1/2012 12:45:36 P.M.

I haven't checked the numbers recently but it was never that high when I was Futurity Chair. I was not picking an argument and I agree that we would like to see many of that 90% or higher number join the GSDCA. I do have a question about Facebook. I am on Facebook and I just went to the site. How to I get the site to appear under groups on my home page? The GSDCA-WDA appears there. Tish In a message dated 2/1/2012 12:21:29 P.M.

According to most recent AKC statistics we hover in the vicinity of 45,000 to 46.000 annual registrations for the German Shepherd Dog. So lets take the figure of registrations 45,500. At 15% membership that would mean we have about 6,825 members. We do not have that many members, not even close. We have not for many years. Our membership in fact, is currently at less than 8.5 % in relationship to latest total AKC registration statistics. That is a very poor number that we would all like to see changed.
