Morgan - I would guess that many people were either reading information on the LIST that was either misrepresented by some and or many others were not getting any of the information until the minutes were approved and sent out at a later date. The LIST is not considered a parent club sponsored list and therefore should not be used for such. This way the playing field is leveled in favor of the GSDCA MEMBERS in GOOD STANDING. I support this move to better communicate with members by using Constant Contact. I just wish it was used for what it was intended to be used for. I think it is really hard for some to move into new and global ideas and trends but if we want to attract new members we had better understand how the younger generation operate and participates in life. Have you looked at a new cell phone lately or shopped around for a new plan for your cell phone? The technology is changing so fast and every day you can find better and sometimes cheaper deals. We owe it to ourselves to work smarter and not harder, use what is available and trust in the process the BOD sets forth by agenda. Like Ken said if you don't agree, work to change it but have a plan of action before you just criticize and disregard that which is already in place.
