Hopefully, selection of the new Delegate will be done most carefully, with the club's best interests in mind, and not find us afterward with someone who wants that position to promote himself or his own ideas, or Peggy--you are correct. Since the BOARD,as a whole, elected Carmen as AKC Delegate .the Board has to vote him off by 2/3 vote, and that can't be done until the April meeting. Lew couldn't act on it any quicker since if a Special meeting would be called ,as they did before, there has to be a 10 day notice. Lew found out about it on March 4th--the Delegates meeting is the 13th,so only 9 days were left,so it has to be done at April meeting. Carmen did admit to writing the letter,but said he didn't get Lew's letter saying he shouldn't send it out--that Lew no longer supported him--until it was too late. So lets all settle down and let our President and Board take care of the problem at the April meeting Now as far as judging--the membership has to decide that. A special mailing and ballot would have to be sent out to our entire GSDCA membership,which is a costly thing to do,but that's the only way you can keep him from judging. Also the AKC would be involved with this,because Carmen has a contract to judge,and you can't just dump him,and the AKC protects us judges against clubs changing their mind at the last minute. I really would not like the AKC getting involved with any of this. If they start getting letters from people and problems,we just might find ourselves in trouble with them. They DON"T WANT to get involved with Breed Parent club's problems--They have enough problems themselves,but if you annoy and pester them with our GSDCA problems,they could discipline us severely Helen Miller Fisher <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
