In response to a post wondering why there have been no official emails from the GSDCA President.........I personally asked Gail to send this announcement out to the membership via an approved email.? Amy, the Futurity Chair also had some Futurity announcements she needed made.? Since ALL of this information had to get to our members quickly (Futurity Entries close on March 6), Amy made the call to send everything to as many lists as possible.? And yes, I called and emailed Gail and Kathaleen asking for the Futurity Stimulus email to be sent and since I had no response from either, both Amy and I sent the information emails to all lists. But, no matter how the information was sent, isn' t it important to keep the membership informed?? Especially since this is a new approach and is offering Futurity Nominations for NO CHARGE....and since there was a judge change in the NE REgion. REMEMBER THE FUTURITY ENTRIES CLOSE ON MARCH 6, 2009..... This is email is not meant to blast anyone nor point any fingers; it is merely an answer to the question that was aksed, "why was this email sent to the lists".? And so far it has been sent to four or five lists, this is the only one that questioned the intention. Anymore questions, just call or email me.
