I like Larry Rock and believe he does the best he can for the club.
However, as the treasurer for the GSDCA he may be more interested in the
finances than doing what is best for the members. He is also the person who
brought charges against Helen Gleason. I know he thinks what he is doing is
best for the club, but good intentions are not always enough.
Larry will no longer be the treasure, and we do need to recognize the work
he has done on the board and thank him for his efforts.

Sorry; this is long but necessary to get back on track.
At The July BOD meeting the following motion was presented by Larry Rock.
"I move the German Shepherd Dog Club of America holds it's National
Specialty Shows at The Purina Show site in Gray Summit, Missouri from 2018
onward
until such time as the member's net asset position is at or above the 2009
level of $583,000." Motion passed.
I voted "no" and also suggested that we set a budget; allowing The GSDCA
to continue to look for show sites on the West and East Coast that meet the
budget and P & P criteria.
I FULLY PLAN to bring this back up at The JANUARY meeting (new BOD); and
turn the decision to stay at Purina on it's head.
I HIGHLY recommend that members take the initiative and look for sites
that we can afford and meet the criteria necessary. Changing the P & P is not
the problem; we first need to reverse the decision made at the last BOD. If
members would do some homework and provide some alternatives; this would
be a BIG help in January. It is obvious that we need to be looking years
ahead to reserve show sites on the West and East Coast.
I hope this helps.
I will also add that throwing every BOD under the bus with a broad paint
brush stroke is unfair.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions on how I voted.
