I've received a couple in the past, too. I attended one of his seminars a couple of years ago and could have put my name down then. I've also read a number of articles on his web site, so I could have signed up. He may have sent this one out because it covered some of the things he reported on as our Delegate at the July Board meeting, such the Online Record Keeping and full litter registration. As our Delegate, it can't hurt to let us know what AKC is doing. BTW - I didn't see anything in there promoting himself or saying "Vote for Me". I also didn't see anything running down other GSD people - whether running for the Board or promoting others who are running for the Board. Too bad we don't have more like that on the List. Fortunately there are a few - otherwise it wouldn't be much value. Janice In a message dated 8/25/2007 9:56:38 A.M.
