However, it puzzles me as to why you used an email just this list to communicate that information rather than the 'official' club communication to all members. Not all members belong to this list and I'm sure the 'entire' membership is concerned with this issue. Again thank you for replying, but I'm concerned that your communication does not reach the entire membership. I would assume this was because the questions were on the List, and various individuals, not official questions to the club. I appreciate the caution that Tish is using not to speak on behalf of the club, but only to give information she has to those who asked. As to paying for the trophies, I would expect since the parent club decides the form, the cost and the number of trophies, they will continue to pay for them. The Futurity has always been a function of the parent club, and how the catalogs are printed, the advertsing, the format, the trophies and the times have always been dictated by the GSDCA. As such, I would expect they would continue to pay for the trophies.
