Well Evan, obviously I disagree with you. But I'd like to point out that
there were several meetings where this was mentioned and discussed. I met
with Nancy, Frank, Lew, & Bill to view the site and hotels in Philadelphia
(just before Frank took over as President) and I know Nancy brought up the
problem of the limited seating for this event.
And just because somebody donates money to an event does not mean that they
own that event and can call the shots on it. If you want to control the
event I guess you do what those with the private parties do - pay for it all
yourself and hold it where you are also in charge of paying for it -
whether that be in the parking lot or whereever.
Just because the club is for the members (and all those involved are
working for the members and basically doing their best) does not mean that
everything should be free for the members. That is the fastest way to totally
deep-six the organization.

I may be wrong, but didn't Kris say she donated $3,000 for the event?
If others want to have events the week of the National, there is no
problem
with that. However, if the parent club sponsors an event, it should be
available for everyone. I know we limit the victory dinner due to the
limits
of seats, we limit the entry on herding, temperament tests, and other
events. I see no problem with that.
I don't even find fault in a cocktail party for dignitaries so we can
impress them with our members, but I do think it should be planned to
allow
everyone who wants to attend, to be there.
Understand. I commend our board, and admire what Nancy is doing to make
this a big celebration. Not every event is available for everyone and I
see
no problem with that. It is the impressions that are important and as
with
my profession, the appearance is important.
I know what Tish is saying, but I do feel the club is for us, by us and by
us. We are the club, not those who expect anything. If you look at the
cost of going to the national, the cost of seats, the victory dinner, the
stalls, and everything else, it offends me to hear someone tell me I am
asking
for something without paying for it.
I figured it out if I bring a dog to show. The cost to me is $7,000.00.
I don't think expecting to be treated fairly is asking for something or
asking for a free lunch.
Also, I admit at times when I have announced, (not always), the club did
give me tickets for a "free lunch". As "talent" maybe Flower Boy, Bob
(The
Voice of The National) Dresher and I should demand union fees, at least.
So far, not being spit on seems to be enough.

Do we pay the cost of whatever food there is or do we charge to attend
the
event to help cover that cost? It seems to me we have gotten to expect
to
get everything free these days. Somebody has to pay because as the
saying
goes "there's no such thing as a free lunch".
