I guess my name is not important enough for people to read what I send. No wonder the club is in trouble. Running unopposed: Pres:- Ken Downing V. Pres- David Landau Directors- ( 2 years) Running unopposed Region 1- Debbie Hokkanen ( also she is a training director) How can you direct something you never did? Region 2-Wayne Davis. Isn't he running for the GSDCA Board also? Region 3 Miriam Barkus Region 4- La Mar Frederick ( I believe he is also a training Director) Same question! Region 5 Joe Barry Region 6- Russ Osburn Region 7 Don Haseman Region 8- Dorothy Linn-Has SCHh dogs? Region 9- Tom Mesdag- Isn't he on the GSDCA Board also? Does he get paid twice? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ No, we've beat this particular horse to death before. There's no conflict in the by-laws w/ an individual holding positions on both boards. But, you'd like a response? I found your questions and comments re training directors offensive. I found your comment re Dorothy Linn offensive. I found your comment re Tom Mesdag not only offensive, but woefully mis-informed. (Board members hardly get paid; in fact thinking of the travel time away from home, time away from work, possibly hiring someone to "do dogs" and/or house sit, having to pass on judging assignments, I think it's only common sense to realize serving actually costs money.) If you's like to volunteer to be on the board, IF you have something constructive to bring to the party, I'm sure you'd be welcome.
