Subj: Know when you were wrong and change it. The wisdom to know the
difference
I thought this might be a good time to review recent history and consider
the mistakes:.
1. A class for OFA dogs at the National.
2. A class for amateur handlers, (never mind we should be judging the
dogs).
3. A class for long coats.
4. Not allowing the top obedience awards for whites.
5. Letting someone who promotes puppy mills into the club.
6. Sponsoring an activity we were not qualified to hold and at an expense
we could not afford.
Some of that we still are living with, and may indeed have some value.
Some of it, was just wrong.
Isn't it time to think harder before we act.
Our board has worked hard to stop the "bleeding" of cash and was doing a
great job. When I was on the board, there was a surplus each year of about
$800,000. That had nothing to do with me, but rather the boards before me.
Then the club started to spend money with no control.
When Frank took over, (and even before him), the unlimited spending
stopped and as a business man he got the club under control. He did have to
work
with what had been done, but there are a number of changes that will help
us in the future.
It is time to remember the past, but stop blaming anyone for it.
We have a great board, and they are taking us in the right direction.
Let's get behind them, and support those efforts instead of dwelling on the
past.
