P.S. If it's GSDCA, I think an 18 hour conference call would be pricey:-) I know that a person-to-person meeting accomplishes lots more than a conference call, and the GSDCA meetings actually start Friday afternoon (right???) then ends sometimes Sunday noon. (right???) Video conferencing is happening, but even with my "littlest" group, a meeting for a few hours accomplishes more than 3 2-hour conference calls. Just more efficient use of time, but we don't charge expenses :-) S On Feb 19, 2009, at 6:38:36 PM, "MORGAN LEWIS" <shadowland22000@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I don't know, but would sure would like to know, and as one of the BOARD members asked me, why is the gsdca spending over $10,000/ quaterly meeting; when it could be done by Conference call Morgan and His Angels Precious, OFA -- Stormy Hope carpoc.org GSDCA Member And more clubs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
