Norma if it makes you feel better AKC probably would not have accepted a membership list with names from all over the country. You have to have a certain amount of members from the area of the club. Just yesterday when I tried to apply for our next AB show in 2015 I was told by AKC that I needed to submit a membership list. They request this every year and I just forgot to have our secretary send it. I did email and call her yesterday and told her to send it in. My point even if people from all over the country would have joined your club AKC probably would not have approved your shows. Sorry that happen to you but our club went down a couple of years ago also for lack of interest in the area. Lee Brown In a message dated 9/9/2014 10:51:03 A.M.

I would like to thank Dick Jones and Gerry Roach for actually putting their money where their mouth is and sending membership dues but they were the only ones who did. I tried to contact everyone who might support it. Guess it was just not meant to be. Actually there are still more clubs and shows being held in this country despite the lousy entries. So the shows will go on but not here. The Rochester Syracuse weekend is now the only specialty weekend left in New York, the state that holds the parent club charter as well as the AKC charter. I have never had much interest in politics so maybe someone else will sponsor a new club. norma hansburg www.normahansburg.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
