Stormy! Have you lost your mind? Voting out the board members? Why that's outrageous! I want the same BOD members every year! There is just no better way to run the Club! I'm disappointed with your suggestion , but even though you are misguided I still love you! Okay I'll be serious for a second . I think the bitching about the National has been a little excessive this year because this has been a really tough year on the club! The law-suits, the money problems with last years world games, the highly controversial white-blue- long coat vote , no streaming video! The Bob Linsey thing etc etc! The overall mood has just not been good! a few are contemplating not rejoining next year. I for one won't be back, I can support the breed withoutthe drama! The Club will recover and get stronger! But that's what I said about the Oakland Raiders. Lol. The National will be great this year because it's great every year!

Is it that time of the year again? I KNOW that we are all upset that we donât have the rotating national. Itâs a done deal for 3 years. As we Legislative Liaisons say, write yourâ¦. (board member), donât like what they do, vote them out. We have all been in positions when something went kaplooey and the results were not to our liking. I know that most of us simply found a work around. Canât take the extra 6 days to drive? There are airports within 3-4 hours?We drive 3 or 4 hours all the time to go to shows⦠at least in California. I just drove 2 hours to steward an obedience trial! The National has been in October or November ever since Iâve been involved. And people with children did a work-around with the schools and teachers, is the kids were doing good in school. It has been too cold, too hot, snowing, windstorms. I know that we can do better than spending 2 weeks just bitching and moaning.That only increases the stress level and gets on peopleâs nerves. I need one of those great meme to put right here. <G> I love you all, I love this list (when itâs effective and helpful) but quitbitching and moaning! Storm Stormy V.
