My congratulations, my gratitude, to the Executive Committee and the Budget and Finance Committee for the countless hours of hard work you have given us of your own person time... with absolutely no compensation except that from the MANY of us that know what a GREAT job you have done! Financially our club has never been better according to the recent audits, much need "fat" has been trimmed from the committee heads and further investigation is still ongoing into other events of the past. When our membership has made their feelings known the Executive Committee has acted on their behalf. Bravo to the truly "peoples" Board. Please know that the little voices that now speak against you are the non-workers who are trying to put their name out there not by years of hard work but by years of complaining about others. Their intended name recognition comes not from their own accomplishments in the breed, but the destruction of accomplishments of others. Please people, see this for what it is. Reward hard work, not negativity in all it's ugly forms. Helen Franklin ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
