I am asking myself the same question. With the horrible summer I had, I have to pinch pennies and have not been able get out and about. I have not renewed and am certainly not going to do it just to get the Review. I have to ask myself why. I don't have bitches for litters, so not for the Futurity either, or the advertising.

I am glad you are bringing two new members to the club and training a junior! Good for you! They may join to get Reviews like the ones you showed them, but will they renew to keep getting Reviews like the one I got this month? I will renew my membership, but not for 12 more copies of the Review I got this month. I will do it to support the club and the dogs. I did love the Rinke interview and do prefer the one-dog-per-cover approach.

Liz brings up a great point. I am teaching a 9 year old girl to handle, (try not to cringe). Her parents asked me if they should join the parent club, and I said they should. They then asked me why? I told them that getting the Review was enough of a reason. I gave them some of our old ones, (I couldn't do that with a computer generated magazine), and I expect they will join. They are not interested in breeding, getting Select ribbons, or nominating litters. They have a child who wants to handle. I expect we will have two new members, only to get the Review.
