Morgan there is a time when you stop beating a dead horse. I will not encourage a friend to become a part of something I have no respect for. I have better things to do with my time and as a non member I can still support the breed but it will be on a local level. In fact if we put our passion and resourses into the local clubs we all would be better off.

HEY IM' DISAPPOINTED TOO. COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT STORMY WAS NOT ELECTED BY A FRIGGIN LANDSLIDE, AND DOC FORTUNATELY IS STILL THERE FOR ONE YEAR AND THEN FACES RE=ELECTION. ONLY 1100 PEOPLE VOTED, SO #1 OUR MEMBERSHIP IS ALRADY WAY BELOW WHAT WE WERE TOLD, #2 MANY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN UP, OR #3 NOONE GIVES A S----!! I HOPE IT IS NOT THE LATER!! I TRIED TO QUIT TWO YEARS AGO, BUT 2 LADIES THREATENED TO BREAK MY LEGS!! BESIDES, IF I QUIT, I CAN NOT B----. AND I LOVE TO B-----!! THERE IS SO MUCH THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, HEALTH, RESCUE, LEGISLATION. SO BEFORE EVERYONE DECIDES TO QUIT, THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO!! DOC AND STORMY BOTH NEED YOUR VOTE NEXT YEAR, AND HOPEFULLY OTHERS WILL RUN FOR ELECTION (THIS WE HAVE TO ENCOURAGE - NOT DISCOURAGE). DA LIST IS POWERFUL BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BREED!! LET'S ENCOURAGE OUR LIST NON MEMBERS TO JOIN THE GSDCA. LET'S EACH GO OUT AND RECRUIT ONE NEW MEMBER; MAKE THIS A GRASS ROOTS EFFORT WITH SOME YOUNG BLOOD. YES, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, BUT WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE!! "GIVE UP" THAT IS NOT IN OUR HERITAGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH!! HE,HE. TOMMOR IS ANOTHER DAY, LET'S MAKE IT WORTH LIVING!! Morgan Lewis, RPh.

I think Ed and Ruth have spoken for many of us. I see - again - the same names coming up that have been "droning" over the membership for many years. Just like Ed said - there are a lot of capable members who would be willing to lead this club - and do it with integrity and love of people and dogs, but they never get a chance. We need new faces and a new outlook for this club, not the same old, same old. I will miss Tish.

I could have written this - my thoughts exactly. This group has been so invested in keeping the membership in the dark that I do not see it suddenly getting better. I will miss the Review on months where it actually has content. I know all the arguments for staying, but I do not want to support an organization that is not open and pro-membership. My guess after current memberships expire it will be a bit smaller and a less diverse group.

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 'Hunt 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 ===========================================================================P OST is Copyrighted 2011.
