I have to agree with this. If it is not possible for someone to fulfill the duties of their elected position in a totally reliable manner (which includes attending necessary meetings), then they need to resign that position and step back into the management of the club at a later time when their lives are more stable. No stigma there. There is also, in my opinion, a HUGE conflict of interest when you have someone sueing the very organization that is allowing them a position of prestige and influence. I really feel that if the best interests of the Parent Club are considered, the lawsuit should be dropped, the club as a whole should be allowed to recover as much as is possible from all the upheaval of the recent year and everyone, including Margy, should move on to hopefully a more positive new year for the GSDCA and for themselves personally. Regardless of which side you favored in the original issues, it has now come down to the need of filling a critical position RELIABLY and doing what is in the best interest of an organization that has been through the proverbial ringer for well over the last year. Let's take it out of the arena of personal politics, personal power and personal gain and let's move on toward cohesion FOR THE GOOD OF THE BREED. lynda Check out our websites for constantly updated info and pictures www.falkrigiashepherds.com www.thecraftywoodchuck.com Last Hope Safe Haven GSD Rescue - BOD Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue - Training Director ************** Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
