I disagree about the two Boards having the same directors Kathy and have repeatedly raised the issue at our Board meetings-when votes come up about funds for the other WDA ( we now have a WDA committtee in our Club) those directors on both Boards should refrain from voting but don't- this is not good for our organizations legally speaking- I think the comments were well intended and the real question generated is why don't more working dog people want to get involved in the other WDA Board- obviously many people want to be involved in our organization as evidenced by the number of candidates running-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 7:03 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: not surprised...not important? > > In a message dated 8/11/2005 7:50:36 A.M.
