Thanks Carol, Too often people just immediately jump to the conclusion that nothing is being done if they were not in on the planning. But we elect people to work on our behalf and we need to trust that they are. And if they need help, we need to be willing to step up and help. It is our club and it is up to all of us to make it work. Meanwhile, I am pretty confident that they will do their best and make us proud of this international event.

Many people HAVE been working VERY hard on this. Bill, Nancy, Dean just the first that come to mind. Tish also. Tom Mesdag. He is helping line up WDA members to work also. Many others are involved in the planning also. 100's of man hours went into selecting a site. Income has been projected and expenses have been projected. We cold make a GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. People are considering the needs of many, many Europeans who will come. Streaming Video is being planned on an Inter nation basis - Something that is a HUGE DEAL in Europe already. Major Sponsor ships are in the works. I sat in on a meeting with Carlos, who is the head of the WDA World Team for us. (Months ago) He told Tish and other board members what Europeans Expected in a site and they listened. I have pictures of the select site and it sure looks GREAT to me. I think it will fit the bill exactly. Of course there are guarantees on anything. But I do assure you, this is being taken seriously and I recommend that as many people as possible start planning to accrue vacation to attend. This is a HUGE event in the world of our beloved breed. I think everyone would be very excited to be able to see this showcase of GSD skills without having to spend the money of going abroad. I guarantee it will be the experience of a lifetime.

Do we have a plan? do we have the money? I would rather not host them than look inadequate to the rest of the GSD world. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
