-----Original Message----- From: horizonholdings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: sometimes you win when you lose Joe Beccia writes.............. ( clipped ) .......... I do feel bad for the people in the west for having the Colorado National moved away from them. I loved this site and I have family in Denver and was looking forward to the show there. I also felt bad for the people in the east for having Lexington taken away from them by the prior Board. If you want to be angry do so at the the individuals that presided over the lose of $190,000.00 dollars in three years and caused this move to be necessary. I also read in one of the posts that all the figures presented were not correct and the Colorado site is not that much higher than Purina. If this is the case I am sure the Board will find the correct figures and act accordingly. Joe Beccia Signature German Shepherds * I'm sure the entire membership would love to hear who "presided" over the loss of $190,000.00 in ANY amount of time..... let alone in three years!!? * We live in the West......and we were also looking forward to Lexington. I don't think this is East & West issues? ( Colorado really isn't "West" ......unless you pick some place in Kansas as Central and go with St. Louis or Kentucky as East ) Most of us that exhibit just want good sites that are possible to get to within reason and with the dogs! * Colorado could have been on the 'A list' for a permanent site... and we risk losing it by breaking the contract and will now go to great expense to look for another suitable one.........as with S.Cal. in January? If they were not correct in their figures......possibly the vote should not have been taken until they were sure??
