Thank you, Margy. Still, for an important subject such as this one, I should have thought someone would have suggested a conference call of board members for a "one purpose" meeting...just to vote on this matter. Someone has said that the GSDCA is one of the largest, and one of the oldest Parent Clubs in the country...I'd have thought there was a method in place to handle subjects that might be considered "emergencies" rather than wait until the next regular;y scheduled meeting. Peggy Paul opines... I certainly wouldn't try and speak for Margery or the PClub Officers or Board. That said...our delegate to the AKC is Carmen Battaglia who is on record against the PAWS bill. Perhaps it's just the timing where he can come before the Board to speak his mind and the Board will act. Is there any situation where someone "won't" come down on the PClub Board? If PAWS was due to be voted on in the House and Senate tomorrow or even next week...I'd be right on that same Bandwagon...get it done folks. This Bill hasn't even come to a vote on either side of the Legislature. That doesn't mean it's not important...doesn't mean I want the PClub to write a letter against it...I just don't see why this Board should be taken down when it doesn't need to be.
