The GSDCA should not be run for a few people but rather for the good of the club as a whole. Less than 1/3 of the members enter Fut/Mat. Less than that enter the National. No wonder we are loosing members as we give them nothing back for their membership dues. They can get the Review without joining. We need to realize where the membership is headed. Not conformation with handlers charging exorbitant fees for a puppy match, etc. and then entering their own breedings. WDA is gaining ground on us as they give their membership what they want.

About 1 of every 10 people I have talked to support the AF. I voiced opposition, as well as many other club members, to Nancy as chair, Amy as chair, and Carol as chair. No one appears to be listening. Train on a track............. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
