A person without opinions of his or her own will be useless on a Board anyway...if all that's wanted is a bunch of "yes men," then why bother having any elections, or, for that matter, any meetings? Why keep minutes? Why spend money? Just elect someone to run the club alone...because without disclosure, that's what we've got. For heaven's sake, it's only a dog club....it's not life or death...........then again, there are people, I know, who think it is life or death if they can have an "important" position, even if it's only in a silly dog club........ How ridiculous. I'm so happy my delete button works......I have no patience with this nonsense -- .none at all.
