How many years have you worked on the regional club level. Terry Well, Terry, as I said before the last time I was wrong was 1944. Looks like I might have to revise that upwards (LOL) but I'll wait till I hear if the New Mexico Club had to change their by-laws a couple years ago to host Rally. Re Regional Clubs - I joined the St. Louis Club when I got my first GSD back in 1967. I remember serving as their secretary (and boy was that a contentious club back then) and on their newsletter. We moved to CT and I joined the New Haven Club. We moved to Dayton and I joined that Club. We moved to San Jose, CA and I joined Golden State (did their newsletter and was President) and Fanciers. Moved to VA and joined No. VA and Greater Wash. DC. I worked for both clubs - including show sec, fut, sec, Pres. Moved to New Mexico and was secretary and treasurer. I'm now back in VA and for the first time in about 40 years am not a member of a regional club. It has taken me awhile to get on my feet after our move. However, I am hearing that No Va needs help so I suppose I will go join. Being a member of a regional club gives one a lot of experience. Guess it doesn't always make one right tho. Tish PS - Did I mention WDA and the Foundation?? I must be crazy. I really need to work on my house. My niece just sent 100 pictures of our Colorado reunion and I need to figure out how to download them onto my computer. And then I need to label all my past pictures for the last 30 years or so.
