I cannot speak for everyone nor would I want to. I CAN speak for myself. I have NEVER voted with a hidden agenda in mind, I came to this board with a blank blackboard, having no previous opinions regarding the individuals I looked forward to serving with as far as their ability to serve the membership was concerned. I KNOW there are others on the board that also vote according to what they deem is BEST FOR THE CLUB (MEMBERS AND DOGS) The cry to "THROW THE BUMS OUT -RAILROAD THEM ALL OUT" would mean that a lot of experience and talent would be lost - out the window. I also believe that new people should always be brought in - as Rita pointed out consistency is important and it takes some time to take hold of the process - a BOARD made up of all first time Board Members would flounder in it's best intentioned efforts. I hope that we can break the law of averages & learn by experience,---- what a concept!!!!!- Unfortunately, some came to the current Board with "SIDES ALREADY TAKEN" as a result of previous personal battles fought on the battle field of previous Boards. . My point here is that REGARDLESS of who does or does not get elected, some from 'BOTH VIEWPOINTS' will probably make up the next Board - SO UNLESS, we get BEYOND personalities, start with a clean blackboard history WILL most likely repeat itself much to the determent of our club. . So candidates, if nothing else, let's all make an oath to ourselves, solemnly swearing that we will "delete" from our brains, any and all preconceived opinions of others - regardless of past or declared positions or other and commit to working in a non-partisan manner to accomplish goals.

Me I think the hidden agenda was to try to control this election. I sure hope the members can see this and remember who all the players of clique were and vote those that are on the ballot right out of office. Send them packing.
