I have looked at a lot of national websites and almost every one of them pays for a lot of the costs by selling "souvenirs". The parent club could work out a partnership deal with vendors who sells their items through the PC website and pay a percentage. We all talk about the economy and how people are cutting back - well give me a good looking T shirt or mouse pad and I can afford that. I can't afford the collections of stuff.

Member GSDCA President Last Hope of Georgia 501c3 "So Much to Do, So Little Time" From: Ruth Scheubler <rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx> To: DaList <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 3:11 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Agenda, who's got the Agenda? Followup Because I forget to check the site as it is always easier just to jump in instead of researching, I have now set a calendar item that has me check the PC site at least weekly. That way I do not have to rely on others to slap me upside the head! I know how much hard work it takes to keep this site up and I also know that we are in no way paying market value Pam for all she does. Now if we could use the store more effectively and offer more items ... We should be selling items with unique logos for each National, and other "souvenir" items that even those of us who can't make it to the show can purchase. Ideas?

Followup I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. When I say it's on the Members Page, I don't mean that it's behind the wall. The Members Page is where you go to log on to the pages that are behind the wall. It's the page with announcements just for members as well. The Board Agendas, which have been posted for at least the last 4 or 5 Board meetings, have been listed right at the top of the page. Other things on this public page include information about volunteering and information about how to recycle futurity plaques, should you be so inclined, and other things from time to time. GSDCA.org gets around 18,000 unique visitors each month, so there are a lot of people visiting the site other than members. I also remember posting to the list at least twice that the agendas were there. When I get them, I post them. In fact, there's something new on the website almost every day.

Followup You are not alone, I did not know that either. Pam does so much on the website. I am in the 26% tile, but had no idea about the agenda being put behind the wall.
