That does NOT read like a gag order, that is making sure there is ONE vehicle of OFFICIAL communication to be used, instead of lists and other means. The way I read this, it ensures that the entire membership gets the info at the SAME time in the SAME manner. How is that wrong? Let's not keep putting spins on things folks, it causes panick and over reactions and does nothing constructive for this club. If you have ideas, get them out there instead of putting all this energy and effort into negativety. Chris Chris S. (Jolley) Kimerer www.tanbarkgsd.com Ch. Tanbark's 2MuchBling Joelle Aramist Ch.

(for that question, Constant Contact is an on-line Enewsletter template ...http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp) Evidently this had been discussed in the prior, Friday, meeting, but that is just "something I heard" as I wasn't there, obviously. This was done quite early, quite quickly Saturday morning and I didn't see the vote count.
