Yes I agree this is a important event but at what costs........... I have heard rumors that the WDA has asked the GSDCA to pay for workers. Where are we going to get all the workers ... Now I say these are just rumors but do they have any truth to them? And who is going to be able to take 2 weeks away from their obligations and jobs to help. Hoping this event does not bankrupt the GSDCA. Would it be worth it? Arlene In a message dated 10/27/2010 6:17:55 A.M.

It will be very very expensive, can our club handle this? If we lose any more members, less dues. While the lawsuit is definately worrisome because it could also drain us more financially depending on the outcome, is it financially appropriate for the parent club to be hosting this event?? We are in a economic crisis right now, people, and business are cutting back to survive, will the club survive 2013???? Just something to think about. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
