Ok, I am confused... :) Is the welcome waggin under my committee or Dania's? :) -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Zoa Rockenstein Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 7:56 AM To: sally@xxxxxxxxxxx; DaniaKarloff@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Dropped Members Contact - long The Welcoming Committee kind of went "on hold" for awhile, as the club had membership "issues" that you will recall. We will be up and running again soon, under Dania's capable leadership. Personally, I have found this effort to be very rewarding. Both new and lapsed members appreciate the personal contact. I have met new members that I now visit on the way to shows, even if it is just to stop for a cup of coffee at Perkins when passing through their town. We email, chat on the phone, communicate about upcoming shows in their area, discuss the merits of training methods, swap photos, etc. I really believe that these things pay off for the club and the breed in the long run IF enough of us are actively involved. Plus, it's fun!

Unfortunately, we have not been too active with this subcommi= ttee=20 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am glad to see you have this committee and hope you have people working on it that are not on a lot of other committees. There are a lot of Pc members who would like to work for the club but never seem to get a chance Sally www.embroiderybysally.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
