Also, the amateur futurity/ maturity is an added expense of time and moneyfor 
the national.  For what ?  There are very few entries; the win is next to 
meaningless.It would suffice to, as Carolyn states, just make it a class in the 
regular futurities.If "getting wood" is the prime aim of a breeder, we have a 
serious problem, orshould I say another serious problem.

I can live with the 'no wood'...... or it would have been OK to keep the first 
place 
plaque for the winners of a class.

What I do NOT understand is why Clubs will be forced to host an Amateur 
Futurity??
How can that be forced on a Club when that is extra time, workers, and expense 
for 
a hosting  Club??    
I've never understood why we couldn't just insert an Amateur CLASS in the 
Futurity 
and an Amateur CLASS in the Maturity and that's IT.     Too Simple??   
No age specifications....just an extra class.   No extra  judge, or show, or 
expense or 
extra time and no complicated hardship on a Club......just one extra class for 
Fut / Mat.  
for Amateurs with no Professional handlers......no matter WHO owns the 
dog.   Simple!!
If you win......you compete in winners with all the others.    Please,  not 
have Clubs have
to put on a whole extra show ...........

the  plaques for

  I would like to see the vote. I must have missed it in the minutes.  Would 
some board member
   please let me know who voted to eliminate the plaques,  and how much we 
would be saving?
   
  What do the plaques cost?  I remember when we paid our treasurer for  the 
heads, and maybe 
  we needed to get quotes.
   
  I don't need no stinkin wood, but it sure does impress the people who have  
not done the 
  winning before.  We need to consider carefully what we take  away. I did 
notice that holding
   the amateur futurity is a requirement for the  future futurities. Who voted 
on that?  I have yet to
   talk to anyone except  one person who wanted to even keep it.
   With it being required, I do wonder what  clubs want to host a futurity?
   
  Also, I bought an extra Select ribbon from Magic Marker to her co-owner. Do  
we need to 
  spend $60.00 for each ribbon?
