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. We certainly appreciate the response Lew, and I was the one who posted asking. My post, after a private one to the president last week, was in concern for those members who are not on lists and not receiving club information. Was hoping the pres would respond as to why. Certainly don't take it as a blast, but answers from those that know would be helpful. Am pleased the board and committee are coming up with something to restore the relationship with Purina. There support for our club is important and we all would hate to have them withdraw from that.
