Hi Evan, I have only opened up emails this afternoon after a few days away from the list so for all I know someone else may have already responded. . I know that you want everyone to have a true and accurate picture of what happened at the Board Meeting in July. Therefore, please know that the information you posted to the list as received from a Board Member about the closed door session is distorted. It does not portray a true, accurate, nor clear picture of what occurred and why it occurred. It is the duty and responsibility of the Board to safe guard everyone. everyone.

That was a closed door session, and all board members know not to discuss business that was conducted at a closed door session................. and the minutes have yet to be published! Has anyone ever heard of the term "Loose Lips Sink Ships"? As Ralph Roberts told me when we were on the board together, the information from the closed door sessions takes as long to get out as it takes to open the door. We don't worry about sinking ships, unless we are at war. I am not at war with our board, and I doubt they think they are at war with us. I also was told by a board member what went on at the closed door session. I don't know if it was true, but I was told that Gail Sprock was not allowed to be in the session even though she was on the Review Committee, (maybe rightly so, since she is not a board member.) I was also told that Gail wrote a letter to each board member, and expressed her strong concerns that Susan should not be given the editor's contract. I was also told that Susan made it clear she would not stop showing dogs, even if she became the editor. Understand, I personally support Susan. This is just what I was told. Perhaps Lew can let us know if the information I received was incorrect. It is important that the members of this club, and those who might consider becoming members have as much information as they can, so that they can make informed opinions when they elect our board members in the future. I think our board works very hard for us, and does a great job. But, being elected to the board, or any other position does not make one immune from criticism. As a matter of fact, it probably makes you more responsible for your opinions, and responsibility. I respect this board and know they work hard to do what they think is right. Perhaps that is why five of our board members refused to vote. Or, perhaps that information is wrong too.
