Goo answers and thought provoking question Morgan Lewis, RPh. Member GSDCA President Last Hope of Georgia 501c3 "So Much to Do, So Little Time" From: Stormy Hope <Stormy435@xxxxxxx> To: gsd list <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 7, 2011 6:22 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Money,money Since I am learning that prior to 2005, the Purina donation was earmarked for the National and prior to that, those regional clubs that put on the Futurity/Maturity got a small and set amount from the PC, I am wondering how did the Regional Clubs get their trophies before 2005? Since my treasured "wood" came from the years 2000-2004, I belatedly thank those clubs who managed to get the money to pay for the plaques. Would it be time to have "Regional" Futurities , with each REGION putting on the Futurity and alternating the park by clubs each year? Then the whole Region would be responsible for the cost of the match, and share in the profits, if any. The matches could be planned for how many years ahead there are clubs in the region. Organizing it all at one time. and then the Obed/rally/herding/agility people would not be left out of the Purina funds... It could all go to the National and split between the venues. What if Purina pulled it's donation (Don't EVEN think that, Stormy), but seriously, what would happen then? Somehow, programs would be cut back, and somehow the show would go on...wouldn't it? Just my opinion. Stormy Hope ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2011.
