Let me tell you what bothers me about all this. First and foremost this is a dog club, nothing more. Secondly, there have been others who have violated rules, allegedly haven't got the job done. Meeting have been called by committed chairs, no one shows up, someone allegedly forges a name, nothing is done, wrong credit cards are charged, even when correct info is provided, money is supposedly spent without Board approval and then they don't want to divulge how much has been spent, proper protocol isn't followed, which allegedly almost led to litigation, information is withheld from club members, Breeder's Code violators are never banned from the club, and applicants who fail to meet even the minimal standards of care are let in the club. We also have a couple of Board members who feel they are superior in their decision making ability, so there is not need to follow the rules, they just decide for everyone. So I suppose my problem is, why is Margy being singled out..what has she done that is so heinous to levy charges against her? Are her acts any worse than the aforementioned? Maybe collectively as GSDCA members we should ask for the resignation of all the Board members, who we feel are acting counter productively to the betterment of the GSDCA. Can we do that???After all, we are part of the corporation and if we feel that the business/club that we belong to is not being run in a proper manner, maybe it is up to us to get rid of the troublemakers. If the axe is going to swing, let's makes certain it swings fairly and without prejudice. If some on the Board want to fight, and are unable to conduct business, in a mature manner, then it is apparent that these people can work together and that too many "other" issues are occupying their time, they simply need to go, now and the membership needs to get things back in order if no one else is going to.
