It really does not matter if a person is a member of the Parent club or not on this issue . They will vote with their show dollars. You do not have to be a member of the Parent club to show at the national. Terry LEWIEB@xxxxxxx wrote: I did a very informal survey for a couple of topics, sent emails to all the Regional Clubs and there were about half who responded. However, there is such a small number of GSDCA members that comprise the Regional Clubs so the survey although valuable was not totally responded to by GSDCA members. However, if the GSDCA Membership wants to be heard on the subject of Selects, then do a Petition and get it to Sharon Allbright before the July board meeting. Petitions with hundreds of signatures will have an impact on the Board. I wil say it again, this is YOUR club, YOU make the rules.
