Does anyone know how much it cost to put the white issue in the round of voting (I know there was already a mailing going out, but they still had to be counted and printed) and how much will this next white/coat change to the standard cost us? Is there not a better use of funds? It would seem the membership has already made its opinion very clear about what they think of whites. Why is money being spent on this and not on research on many of the health issues that plague our breed? Or on a scholarship fund to get juniors to the national? Or arranging speakers who are knowledgeable on the relevant health issues to hold seminars at next year's nationals? Everyone has their opinion and they are entitled to it... but this endeavor appears to be yet another money pit that the club doesn't need. Michelle D.
