Holy Sh*t! Is that news of board meetings being made public before it it sent to the membership? WTF????? How often have we been informed that we are not entitled to information until it has been cleared by the powers that be? Now, suddenly people who do not pay their $66 dues get a direct line into the board meetings? What is happening Here??????? Am I angry? You Betcha.

As a longtime member of the GSDCA I was not happy when I just read on my FaceBook news page that the GSDCA was offerring all new members full membership at the price of $36 for the year of 2012. I joined the GSDCA in 1984 and had a two month lapses in 1990 when my daughter was born, which caused me to lose 28 years of consecutive membership to 20 years currently. I for one had been laid-off from my job since 2008, I am a single parent and head of household. I have three GSDs that during this time continued their training and earned titles. Each year I would come up with the dues, without a discount. I have also attended the National during that time span. I consider this a slap in the face from the GSDCA. Cut and pasted from my FaceBook: German Shepherd Dog Club of America BIG NEWS!! THE GSDCA IS OFFERING ALL NEW MEMBERS A FULL MEMBERSHIP OF 36.00 FOR THE 2012 YEAR!!!!!!!! (OUR REGULAR FEES ARE 65.00) HERE IS THE LINK TO OUR SITE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING EVERYONE ON BOARD!
