Actually, there was very little of the meeting that was closed. GSDCA members were welcome at the site visit, the dinner and meeting Friday night. From 8:00am to 5:00pm Saturday, and then from 8:00am until they had to break to leave for the airport on Sunday - about 12:30pm. The closed session was for a few hours Saturday night. At least part of the results of that were summarized the next morning. If you have an opportunity to attend, by all means do so! Janice In a message dated 8/7/2007 8:21:20 P.M.

The list seems to be the only place GSDCA members can get information about Board meetings since they are always closed sessions. I am grateful to those Board members who share information with the membership. Maybe if members had another way of finding out information about OUR club it wouldn't have to published on the list. In my opinion it is time that the GSDCA go back to being a club that belongs to the MEMBERSHIP. It is good that elections are just around the corner. I feel sorry for the new Board they really have quite a mess to clean up. - Elaine George ................................... Thank You Elaine. I know so many feel the way you do.
