If any of the candidates wish to do this, they must send a check to the GSDCA Treasurer, Nadine Grady, or call her with their credit card information. Once Nadine has collected the appropriate amount, she will notify me and I will send them either the electronic file (in Excel format) or mailing labels. This remains a sensitive issue with me. When I ran for president, someone worked with our treasurer to send a letter without paying for the labels. I spent the money and sent out a letter to the membership. Their justification was that since they could scan the membership list, they didn't have to pay. It is history, so I won't mention names, and I like very much the person who did it. I didn't make a stink about it, but the honesty of who we elect should be important. I doubt any of those running this year would do that. Also, Nadine would not allow it. Another person we might be losing. Evan L.
