Kathy, Maybe that is exactly why we need some "new? blood" on the Board....to get the good done.? I have had several people tell me I am crazy for running and that nothing good will come of it.? I spent several weeks battling myself about whether I should or shouldn't run.? I do want what's best for our club and it's members and I do feel I can work toward that goal.? I think a Board member can only be a positive and progressive?Board member?if he/she has intentions of absolute selflessness.? That is just one issues I have with a couple of our Board members right now.? As Laurie said, I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has of me in regards to my thoughts & views.? I believe I?have expressed my views and opinions very clearly and will continue to do?so.? Also,?I will be completing Becky Dickson's questionnaire to be posted on her site www.gsdbydesign.com soon.? That should be one tool used by members to help them sort out their choices.??These completed questionnaires should be posted within a couple of weeks.? I urge all candidates to complete as soon as possible so that the membership does have an opportunity to view and process.?

There's no "good" gettin' done w/ all this power struggle. AND, I am extremely optimistic and fun loving. There's a whole lot going on in my day that doesn't involve dog clubs. So.....I'll enjoy those things and ignore the rest. Let me know when it's over, will you?
