I haven't shown a dog in 20 years but I renew for LOVE OF THE BREED ................member since 1974. Donna Jacot,ArDeJay -----Original Message----- From: Terra Fairburn <terraf@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, Dec 18, 2010 12:24 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Renewing GSDCA membership I have heard that many people are not renewing their memberships. I know some f it is due to politics but we are trying to decide whether we should based olely on the economy. We have had to take furlough days off from our work, no aises, higher taxes on everything, and some other unexpected debt....that's eing kind. So any thoughts why we should keep our membership? We are not howing as much in the next year, do not plan to participate in any uturities/Maturities, and the Review really isn't as interesting as in past ears. We love getting our ROM plaques but it sounds like plaques are not going o be around much longer, (Futurity Plaques etc). We have already decided not o renew other subscriptions, dog and people related. We just wondered what thers maybe doing or feel strongly about. You may email us privately if you ish. =========================================================================== OST is Copyrighted 2010.
