We, the membership, were told that we should write each board member letting them know our opinions as it was OUR club, and if they were elected, OUR wishes would be heard. Well, they heard us all right.....but it's the same old politics......promises are easy to make when you're looking in from the outside. I too, would like to thank the 8 board members who listened to the membership and considered our number one concern over and above anything else.....the welfare of the GSD.
