You were  at that  futurity, Evan, and I don't recall you putting anything 
in the  suggestion  box.


I talked at length with Carol Moore, (with Dave Rinke), at the  Futurity I 
attended in Ohio, (I think it was Ohio, but it might have been  Indiana).  I 
then sent a letter with the suggestion, and set it out on the  List. I 
didn't know only what was in  the box was to be considered.
 
If you want a copy of the idea, let me know.  I just figured it was  
considered and rejected. I never heard anything back, but I also put it on the  
List.
 
In short the idea was to increase the number of Futurities to 12 or 14.  
Then have six semi-finals after those for the winners only.  In that way  
there would be more local futurities to help clubs increase the show entries.  
People would not have to travel as far or as often to a Futurity.  Then if  
they won, they would be willing to go a bit further if needed to enter into 
the  semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals would go to the National.
 
That would make 18 Futurity/Maturity shows to back up to club shows. It  
would increase the overall national entry, and give local people another 
chance  to go to a "national" type event. It would bring in more money for the 
clubs,  bring in more money for the GSDCA, give more service to the members, 
and  increase the exposure of our breed to the public if advertised that 
there was a  national semi-final with the winners from other shows to be shown. 
 
I know  people would want to go to that.
 
But, since I never got a response, I supposed there was a down side, and  
the idea was rejected. I have no problem with that. I just made the  
suggestion.
 
I have great faith in the Futurity Committee, I served on it for years. I  
give total credit to the board and those who are willing to serve and 
believe  they will do the best they can for our breed. I am pleased with the 
new 
members,  and support the club, the board and the Futurity Committee in all 
they do.

If anyone wants more suggetions, I will give them, and in the future be  
sure to put them in a box.  I just felt a face to face discussion was  better 
than just puting something in a box.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
