Back in 02 when the Miami GSDC hosted a maturity, we had to have someone beg for support from people and clubs to pay for the wood, all of it cost about 1500. I was able to get support for specific placings as well as general donations from individuals and clubs. It was work, a lot of requesting from clubs that have or might host another futurity, and donations from generous people who know how much winning wood means. I also showed what I thought was a very good bitch. She got dumped. I have never gotten wood, but those who did seemed very happy. Why don't we go back to this method of paying for the futurity trophies? sheila ________________________________ From: dick jones <dick_jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: myjoygs@xxxxxxx; Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx; marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ELG440@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: f.fasano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, November 9, 2010 9:47:20 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Getting Wood We need to find a way to continue to give wood for at least First Place .................it is so important to continue this tradition !
