Good for you, Carol. This is not the place to take care of specific club business.

But as a fellow dclub member, not a sitting board member, I don't think it is right to ask questions like this on a public list. The board is elected to conduct the business of the club. So either trust them or talk to them privately. I am sure there are good, ligimate answers. But asking question like that almost insulting. I , as a private club member, would NOT like to see them answered on this list. Again, Just MY opinion. (Got 75 cents) Carol In a message dated 8/23/2010 1:20:22 P.M.

We are just beginning all the work. Believe me, between the Trial and the Centennial, there will be plenty of work to go around! I am sorry if anyone thought anything was hidden. I didn't mean that to be taken that way. What I wanted to know, and I guess I still do, is who is handling the finances? What is the commitment of the GSDCA and what promises are there that the club won't be left holding the bag? GSDCA funds belong to the members, not a group who agreed to put on the World Trials. I know this is more a GSDCA-WDA thing, it is the working dog sport. I also know the WDA has never become self-supporting, and maybe they now are stong enough to take this on. I thought their president resigned, is the new president up to this? Who is in charge? Who signed the contracts? What are the terms? What is the agreement with the WDA, or is this a GSDCA thing? What did the board agree to do about the show, the profits, the costs, and the work needed? I trust our board, and I am pleased to hear that after this was agreed to, there are committees being formed. Maybe I missed the vote, in the minutes. I don't read the stuff as closely as I could. Is Tish, who seems to keep us informed, going to be president in 2013 when this happens? If not, what is the arrangement to keep information going to the membership. As an attorney I am used to litigation when big plans fall apart. I appreciate this is a great opportunity for the GSDCA, but what has been the experience of the clubs who have done it in the past? In my business I end up in litigation over plans that sounded good at the beginning, but often people give up or lose interest when the real work is needed. I have no idea that this will happen, but I often see the end results of high ideas. There are many questions, and I am sure we will all have answers.
