It is a decision made on personal situations, not one on any other factor. I support the club, in order to support the breed, nothing else. I too am upset over the way some things are done, feel there has been a number of events that I don't like, and there are some on the board that I don't agree with, but will respect their opinions. I have argued at times, been ignored most of the time, and feel there are times when no one will even listen to we little people. I too don't feel the Review is what it used to be, think the club expenditures are excessive, don't like that there will be no wood for Futurities and that the clubs are forced to have an amateur futurity to host them. But, in the end, I support the principal and the idea that the GSDCA is the voice of our breed, and that alone keeps me a member. Six or seven dollars a month is not going to cut my life style much, but if it did, I would go gather plastic bottles to raise it, and send it to the GSDCA. I don't want plaques, awards, recognition, or thanks. I do it because I believe in this breed, and find it an easy way to say so.
