How about the regional clubs do a fund raiser at their shows and send the profits to the GSDCA to hold in trust for the Regional club Rescue fund and I am not talking dogs here. If a regional club finds itself in trouble they can request help from the Fund. We might even be able to collect the money when we pay our GSDCA dues. You could check a box that said I would like to donate so much to the Regional Club Rescue fund. If each member donated just 1 dollar we would have at least 3000.00 dollars to have in reserve to help the regional clubs. It is at the regional shows that we show our dogs to the Specialty judges. If we don't help each other we are going to be in trouble. Let me know what you think. Terry GreyPines@xxxxxxx wrote: Amy: We spent $5,773 on the WDA. This supported the team going to Europe, dogs competing in Mexico and some trophies. If we did not provide these funds, they would come out of the WDA treasury, I believe.

I want to know how you would make it fair if the parent club started cutting checks to the regional clubs? It would appear to me that you would be punishing the active clubs who have members that are willing to get out there and hustle and your are rewarding the clubs with cash gifts for not being out there and hustling. Perhaps the people who are not members of a regional club but are members of the GSDCA should volunteer to help the regional clubs raise money. This is the age of the computers you don't have to live close to be involved.

I'm not talking about low bank accounts, i'm talking about a club who is ready to go under. I am not foolish to think they should just give to any club,,,,but i am talking about serious need.
