John, I'll wear that message! And thank you for doing this. Linda Chernak -----Original Message----- From: John Ayotte <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 00:01:42 -0400 Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] List Buttons I had decided to bring the tradition of list buttons for the National to an end with last year's version. My heart wasn't in it this year, and I didn't have time to do a new design and start taking orders early enough to send them out to people before the National. However, the recent animosity on the list and in the Parent Club, combined with a request by a regional Newsletter editor to reprint a piece I wrote in 2001 called Character, Structure, Type, gave me an idea. I'm going to make up a bunch of buttons with the message below. I will bring them to the National. They won't be personalized as in the past. If you agree with my sentiment on this, and will wear one at the National, you are welcome to one. If you'd like to make a donation, I'll be glad to accept it. All proceeds will go to an organization fighting against PAWS and other legislation that is threatening our freedom to breed, raise, exhibit, and work with our dogs (though I'm not sure what organization that will be). All decisions, on all issues facing the club, should be made with this philosophy in mind! ********************************************************************** No more politics! It should ONLY be about ALL the DOGS and EVERYTHING they can do! agility, assistance, companion, detection, guide, herding, military, obedience, police, schutzhund, search & rescue, show, therapy, tracking ********************************************************************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Ayotte john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Frankenhaus German Shepherds http://www.jmadesign.com/Frankenhaus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
