There will come a time when these people will only be governing their own selves, and judging only there own dogs. Same ole, same ole. I too am done! This will be my last year to join an elitist group who are concerned only with how much power they can possess. Same people on the board and same judges every damn year. Randy C.

Yikes, I thought the government of America was EEEEK, but here we go (geaux) even with our splendid GSD folks!! I just don't understand -- grownups, technology, machines etc., only kids & animals. I'm so so sorry too. Not just the BOD, but other oddities have been going on within the Club that have had me wondering in recent times. Of course, since I'm a lonely old widow woman, I WILL be honored if Da List and other splendid GSD gatherings etc. will allow me to still be a part of what HAD been a vital part of my life for 40 years - living with GSDs and being with GSD people. I have cried more tears than you could ever imagine at the sadness deep within myself because there is NO MORE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG CLUB OF BATON ROUGE! Yikes, with our magical attorney and flower carrying teacher WISDOM IS STILL KING!

First let me say I mean no disrespect to the winners or the folks who voted in this past BOD election and I wish Frank and the new Board much success.... here is MY problem....once again we ( not me) voted in lifers!...and many of this group of lifers were on board ( no pun intended) during 'Hunte gate".... "Margery lawsuit gate"... Closed Session Gate"...and who knows how many other "Gates" they were involved with....I still don't know what happened with Margery and until Dec. 31 I am a member of this club and I have a right to know, but the Lifers don't want us to know. If you do what you've always done you'll get what you've always got!...and that's what we ( not me) as voters seem to be doing...there are many other talented folks who want to serve on this BOD but because of the human name recognition disease, new folks have very little chance of serving.....so until we ( not me) change the by-laws to get rid of the lifers....my next Review will be my last...I can use the 67 bucks to take Sheila out to lunch......Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
