This is a good point Zoe and I have never understand why people don't at  
least try to have a voice.
 
Think back......just over a year ago it was decided to not have the  
national in Dec and move it to Purina Farms.  Many got on the band wagon  about 
that and wrote, petitioned etc...........vote overturned....national in  Denver
 
Then it was voted to write AKC to allow whites to form their own  breed.  
Strong objection.....overturned.
 
If you are passionate about something beating it down on the list doesn't  
get you there.
 
There are instances that I just know when they are brought up they are  
going to go through...guess you have to pick your battles.
After the allowance of dogs with disqualifying faults to win the top PC  
awards was passed, even I threw the towel in and thought this was  hopeless.  
Train on the track is going until it crashes and it  undoubtedly is.
 
I hear too many board members who bring their thoughts only to the  
table.........because that is what they believe.  The board is SUPPOSE to  be 
about 
the members and their wishes.
I commend Nadine for talking to people at shows and getting the pulse of  
what they feel, and to Zoe for paying attention to those that wrote her.
 
Myself, I told a couple of board members how I felt and told the president  
I objected to the class.
Jimmy did say in the meeting why waste time discussing this issue, it was  
going to pass anyway.
With this attitude, no reason board meetings can't be cut down to 30  
minutes a month and just stop wasting  our  
time.............right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Its your club folks. Educate yourselves and talk to board members if its  
important to you.  I am angry at this vote passing but annoyed at myself I  
did not make this one of the battles I should have chosen to fight for.

The time  to tell the Board what you want is prior to a vote.  We cannot 
listen to  you if you do not write the entire Board how you feel

If you call or  write just one Board member, everyone does NOT HEAR YOU

Do not complain  that the Board does not listen when you do not  
communicate.
