As I've probably said enough to counter these rantings, I'll just copy my
original response into this email. First, however, I must tell you a little a
about our Show Secretary, Eileen Parr.
Eileen is a professional. She is engaged to perform as Show Secretary in
around 20 shows per year, including several National Specialities. As a
professional, she takes her job seriously and any kind of mistake is anathema
to
her. She utilizes state of the art software and hardware in her work. She is
one of the few we know that has the ability to publish catalogs in color. We
have always found her to be civil, engaging, and responsive. I believe we've
proven that Eileen was easily reachable and responsive, within AKC rules
which she does take seriously.
So we don't intend to fire Eileen. I don't intend to rehash old stuff, and
I learned long ago, after 11 years on the GSDCA Board as Recording
Secretary, Vice President and Director, that it is a waste of time to saw
sawdust.
See you at the shows!
Dick Whalen
President

When someone takes comments out of context, and slants their comments based
on hearsay, I've found the best thing to do is to restore the context, as
follows:
"Hmmm , interesting E-mails from this person.
Jean has been Show Chair since 1999. Our phone number and fax as well as
the
phone numbers of other club members AND the show secretary are well
publicized in the premium list, and the monthly Newsletter. All work very
hard and
are very interested in making the San Bernardino/Riverside GSDC shows the
best
they can be.
Jean and I have been at the Mission circuit shows on Friday and Saturday.
Jean collected entries and changes from a number of exhibitors and
delivered
them to the Show Secretary, Eileen Parr, on Saturday, prior to closing.
Kenny
had given the change for the dog he finished on Friday to Jean and it was
included in those documents. Eileen made a special trip on Saturday to
meet
Jean to pick up these last minute entries and changes.
I can respond that Kenny Tank approached Jean yesterday at the show and
commented that Kathy hadn't been able to reach Eileen. Jean immediately
dialed
Eileen on her cell phone and handed the phone to Ken who then spoke to
Eileen.
(Seems strange that we haven't seen a bunch of emails about that phone
call!)
We received a number of calls here at our house from people with questions
and others who wanted a premium list. We responded to these requests
within
24 hours.
If I seem perturbed about this, your are right. Not one phone call to us
by
Kathy, but she takes the time to publish four emails to the List? What is
wrong with this picture? It seems to me there is something wrong with the
picture of someone needlessly blasting a club and their show secretary.
I must point out that the AKC provides procedures to move a dog up, or
change classes, etc. They are written in the AKC Guidelines for Dog shows.
AND,
it shouldn't be necessary to point out that the hard working folks who put
on our shows deserve a bit of appreciation for their efforts on your
behalf.
Dick Whalen
President
San Bernardino/Riverside GSDC
and, loving spouse of Jean Whalen, Show Chair.,
(Celebrating 50 years of marriage on June 9 2006)."

Why would anyone automatically call the president of any club when it is
the
SHOW Secy who is responsible for the entries???????
I am not the only person who got NO response from your Show Secy. And yes,
Ken did talk to Jean at the show AFTER HE TOLD HER WE HAD TRIED TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH EILEEN FOR TWO DAYS BY PHONE, FAX AND EMAIL.. Jean herself
admitted
that the Show sec'y was gone. NO ONE knows that you were taking entries at
the Circuit, because it is not publicized. When Ken said , not joking
"this
is the only show sec'y in the country you cannot get in touch with" Jean
Laughed it off. Ken wasn't laughing and neither was I or others that I
have
talked to.
If you you publicize someone as show sec'y then you would EXPECT them to
answer calls, faxes or emails. You would certainly EXPECT them to be
available
24-36 HOURS PRIOR TO AND DAY OF CLOSE. IF THEY CANNOT, AND WILL NEVER BE
,
THEN GET A NEW PERSON OR POST THE ALTERNATE SEC'Y IN THE PREMIUM.
As far as contacting you, we did that last year, Dick, as well as your
sec'y
and our entries NEVER MADE IT IN. SO YOU WILL HAVE TO FORGIVE OUR COMPLETE
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN WORKINGS OF YOUR CLUB. OUR EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS
WERE
ONLY RETURNED AFTER CLOSE....
