Maybe I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time... but I'm sorry, I believe the GSDCA still has need of a print magazine, it ties the membership together no matter if they are online or not. Kathaleen It may be with all the new innovations,we've gotten off track. I would like to remind people of Jane Bennett's Review. Jane personally made up every ad,put the Review together, drove 50 miles to the printer, made the pick -up, drove to the nearest bulk mailer ,and MADE MONEY on the Review. Besides the membership,which was only around 1600 then( I was membership chairman)she had a foreign subscription of 1000,including Canada. She was on the Board and was AKC Delgate for many years.She knew the dogs, proofed it personally,and made corrections before it went to press. As our membership grew,she hired Lois to help her,and Lois took over when Jane died, following the same method.. I sure many people who kept their old Reviews remember that it was always packed with information It won a number of awards. Susan's product is very pretty, and we all voted the change into color and larger pages when Gail took over,. It may be we have to change back ,in these hard times for the GSDCA.
