Thanks, Cathy, for telling us the way it is. I know Cathy is one of the most honest and dedicated "dog people" that I know. Kudos for all her good work! Penny in NY ********************************************************************************* Hi Everyone; I just read the post about the AKC Delegates and the "high salaries". Well, as the AKC Delegate for my AB Club, let me tell you, I do not get a salary, it is all voluntary and I enjoy doing it, as I love the sport of dogs. My Club will pay for parking and yes, the have offered to send me to a meeting out of state ( I am in New Jersey), but unfortunately, my real job that pays the bills, prevented it. I hope to be able to go to the December meeting in California this year, but we will see. So, before you point fingers, know that almost all Delegates pay their own way to Delegate meetings and pay is involved, only dedication to the sport.
