Now that is the most intelligent statement I have read in YEARS. Ought to be posted under famous quotes SOMEWHERE!! Morgan Lewis, RPh. Member GSDCA President Last Hope of Georgia 501c3 "So Much to Do, So Little Time" ________________________________ From: Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: micky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, May 4, 2013 2:45 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Customers? As I see it....? Maybe we should all occasionally read the 'Mission Statement' of this Club periodically. <G> IMO..Basically, and simply put...the purpose of this 'Club' is to promote, define, and encourage the true type, usefulness and working capabilities and STANDARD of this Breed. We are, as a group, or a Club, to protect the interest for the BETTERMENT of the German Shepherd Dog. We pay 'membership' dues to belong to such a noble cause and group for a noble and near perfect Breed of dog. When we begin to change the Standard, Level the Playing Field, or Lower the bar to encourage the lesser qualities or faults of our Breed JUST BECAUSE THEY EXIST ...just for more numbers in members or entries just for the sake of more income, we and the Breed will lose. No matter what we are "called"..... When the main purpose of this Club becomes merely a method and a plan just to draw in more 'numbers' or 'customers' or 'members' of the CLUB or 'entries' to the National because we need more money....we have become the Government!! <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com On Behalf Of Micky Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2013 7:12 AM Subject: Customers? << but I don't think of myself as a Customer of the GSDCA Board. I think of the Board as a group of people that are working for the PC Members, and doing their best to do what the Members would want from them.>> "Customers" is such a common term used anytime in business and not just for retail. It is used simply as a quick and easy term to identify what I do and who I work for and what I should be doing to represent or provide for those "customers" to the best of my ability.
