Terry, you said you were cancelling your FB ? Again the Facebook page is about INCLUSION, we are cloistered to the point that we are not replenishing members enough to slow the loss of membership. There are "members only" on the GSDCA . org website, there are chats on various lists that are list members only. Facebook is about freedom of sharing, not walling us off , yet again, ad nauseum. Love to have you on board BTW Terry. It is a site to feel welcomed, and to share about GSDs..from all over. Folks we need the POSITIVE PR, especially important with the hosting of the 2013 World Trials, soon upon us. We can't put out a "welcome mat" behind walls or closed "members only " doors. However you may want to start a chat or blog yourself that is "members only" if you feel strongly about it. Perhaps on the www.GSDCA.org site?*http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com* * Kathy* * * * * *"Victory...*Vires et honestas" On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 2:04 PM, Terry Cochran <fairway97045@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > What I want to know is if the parent club puts up an offical FB page and I > join can everyone that I am friends with also see the Parent club postings. > I have many friends that are not PC members. > > I like the idea of a private blog spot behind the PC membership wall. > Terry > > ________________________________ > From: Ruth Scheubler <rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx> > To: DaList <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 1:57 PM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: FB and the list > > I would feel much better if it were a members only blog on the GSDCA > website. > That site can and should be used for better communications between board > and membership. > Having that would go a far distance to prove that the new administration > actually does want to be open and available to the membership. > And being behind the membership wall would keep it within the membership. > Ruth > > > > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
