I know you were being your usual amusing self, but this did remind me that our club wanted information about how to help sponsor the streaming video. I remember I got a reply promising information before our club meeting. Now 2 meetings have come and gone and we still have not heard. Do they not want sponsors? Have they found an underwriter? Or do they not want clubs to participate. We consider the streaming video to be an educational expense and want to step up and help out. Ruth and the GSDC of Oregon ________________________________ From: "ELG440@xxxxxxx" <ELG440@xxxxxxx> To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 7, 2011 2:08 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Here is how we do it, share the pain I was asked for my suggestions to cure the problems of the GSDCA, so here they are. THE NATIONAL Cancel it, since it loses money for the club every year. Or, if we do hold it, do it in a park, have a box lunch for five dollars after the show, give certificates instead of rosettes and charge vendors a percentage of the sales. Don't spend more than we bring in. Find local locations where we don't have to put down sod, where we don't have to pay for extra services, and where everyone can enjoy the show. Don't stream video unless we can make money on it, don't have herding unless it pays for itself, don't have obedience, Rally or any other events that aren't paid by the entry fees. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
