This is really going a little over board, don't you think. The money in the Parent club is for the sole purpose of the dogs, not paying for every little whim that comes up. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG, that money could help some of the regional clubs SURVIVE IF YOU WANT TO SPEND MONEY. Board members were well aware of what was to be expected when they decided to sit on the board. NATIONAL EXPENSES WERE NOT PART OF IT I WOULD THINK THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE VOLUNTEERING NOW SHOULD ALSO GET PAID AND THEIR EXPENSES ALSO PAID TO GO TO THE NATONAL. YEAH There was no motion to cover the expenses of the Board members at the National. There was discussion of this and treasurer Nadine Grady was instructed to come back to the Board with criteria on how this might work if the Board decided to do it. The feeling is that some Board members spend the whole National doing work for the Club and therefore should have some of their expenses paid. At this point, it is just a matter for debate.
