If a member logs onto the website, they can view a LOT OF STUFF including: - A membership roster in PDF format they can save and/or print - A membership roster that can be searched by state or last name (as much of the last name as you know) - The Board Minutes that have been approved (expecting the October ones soon) - The Board-O-Grams - A PDF of the Policies and Procedures manual Pam -----Original Message----- From: InquestGSD@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 9:14 AM To: nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: GAG ORDER I made a couple of calls yesterday and what I am told is (my interpretation) Board members are discouraged from speaking on ANY list for the Board. They are not discouraged from speaking to the members and express their personal opinions, just cant speak for the Board. The general consensus is that club business is for club members, and when I suggested an area in the PC website for members only to see reports, board-o-grams, minutes, etc, I was assured the Board is already working on creating this, thru the savvy expertise of Pam. That's what I got, for what is worth. * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : 2 x Sel EX AM CH & Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE In a message dated 2/2/2011 9:39:24 P.M.

THANK YOU I cannot speak for those who abstained on the vote to move from CO to St. Louis. I can only speak for myself. I chose to abstain because I believed I was lacking enough information to cast an informed vote which would be in the best interest of the club and its members. I will not cast a vote yea OR nay on ANY issue UNLESS I am confident my vote is based on a clear understanding of ALL THE FACTS. When one CLEARLY SEES, UNDERSTANDS and CONSIDERS the financial status of our Club as a Board Member, that board member has a judiciary responsibility to include that information, ALL OF IT, & IN THIS CASE weigh the financial information against the complete information on National sites. I am grateful the Budget and Finance Committee GAVE US RAW FIGURES and 'told it like it is' to the entire Board. We now have concrete figures, we have work to do. It won't be easy. I would suggest members of the GSDCA contact their Board members and ask questions and give opinions. I do not know of one single Board Member who will not answer your questions to the best of their ability. Send an email, they will answer.
