Since I know that both of these ladies are current GSDCA members, I have sent them the Board-o-Gram via private email, and suggested to them that they contact Bill to ensure that their membership information reflects that they wish to receive email communication from the GSDCA. It will also be sent to all members via US Mail, for those who do not have email. There is no question that Showgsd-l is not the official voice of the GSDCA. However, it is an important communication tool for many GSDCA members, and just as members discuss GSDCA issues of concern to them via phone, at ringside and at dinner after shows, they also do so on the List, and are most welcome to continue to do so, as the avowed purpose of Showgsd-l is communication and interaction within the Fancy. Due to the fact that there has in recent months been so much negativity on the List regarding GSDCA issues, it is extremely important for it to be evident to those same people how much attention has been paid and will continue to be paid by the GSDCA Board to addressing those issues and to being responsive to the members. In addition to the fact that there are many List members who have subsequently joined the GSDCA as a result of being on the List, there are no doubt Showgsd-l members deliberating whether or not to join, or who might consider joining as they understand these changes. The List also contains lots of Canadian fanciers, and regional club members who are actively involved in the fancy and who will be affected by decisions made by the GSDCA. Over the years I have often observed important synergies between Showgsd-l and the GSDCA. It can all work together for the benefit of all concerned.
