I joined the club to "support" too--with my entries and by having GSDs. I joined for The Review. What I DO NOT care for is the blatant disregard to the membership when it comes to making "big" decisions (ie making The Review bi-monthly.) Remember your history lessons--how the "great unwashed" (common people) blindly followed the malevolent dictators in history. Are we, as members of the GSDCA, just supposed to "take it" and accept the crumbs the elite serves up? Are we supposed to blindly follow, without questions, without input? Penny in NC The Farm Dog The review...we need to wake up on that one. I'd be OK if it went quarterly. There's no content, but we saw this coming with all of the info available on the Internet. Obviously I think the economy is less than terrific, and if it means you (generic you) can't pay a light bill then for God's sake don't pay dues to a dog club (or show dogs, or breed dogs etc.). I didn't join to "get" in the first place, I joined to "support". Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
