This past election brought out the best and worst in all of us. It is a wonder that anyone STILL wanted to be a board member when all was said and done. For the GSDCA, this is COLLECTIVELY a brand new board. Members who retained positions or obtained new ones cannot and should not be held accountable for problems they may have had no power to correct in the PAST. That said, we, the members of the GSDCA, voted this board in. The numbers no longer matter -- this is our board. I for one hope we can ALL give them as much enthusiasm and support as we show in complaining. I certainly do, and yes, thank you to each one of you who has accepted your positions so graciously.
