Tish I don't know that we are ready for the "awards" issue at this point. I think we are still dealing with content. I have Reviews from the 50's, and I can't find one as small as the December/04. Some changes are needed, but lets not shoot the messenger. I do believe we can make the changes to improve size without losing the quality. Thank you Gail and team for that. It is going to take membership involvement. I think that is the real problem. It is easier and faster with a website and many of the other technological advancement which put The Review (and many other publications) in a hard spot. Ask any newspapers editor. However........back to the membership. I see huge entries in Goldens, Labs, Bulldogs. They have lots of owner handlers. They have big magazines. I am sure they see the same advantages with websites as we do. But there is membership involvement. That, to me, is the key.
