Ruth, send this to the whole board. Not all are on the list and they need to read these....a few times! Molly In a message dated 3/22/2013 12:27:57 P.M.

If you put it in one place you get people who will automatically decide that it is too far and plan other things. Planning other things becomes a habit and the show becomes less and less "important". If we want to make the show successful we should be ramping up the performance parts but this club does little to encourage the use of GSDs in performance. Sooner or later we need to concentrate on the vast majority of the GSD owner and once we have their attention we can educate them about the standard and all those other fine things we hold so dear.

( again...not asking for "perfection".......just "POSSIBLE" ) Certainly JUST Utah or Colo. three years in a row would not make a lot of people happy. <G> I understand the Board wanting to possibly make up some "revenue"....but a National with a smaller and smaller attendance won't do that either. AND AGAIN....will do the Breed no good. St. Louis is at least attainable compared to Pa.

The B&F chair suggested to book it 2 times at the time and we would have gotten it at a reduced cost, but the board voted no. never understood that when so many want center......and it WAS a good and convenient site.

Possibly Lebanon or Salina is not our best site choice, so being exactly in the center of the nation might not be the best place. I concede.
