So lets allow for the new board to take over. I think is time we stop listening to those who got us in hot water, and their messengers, and start listening to the ones who have taken on the challenge to clean up their mess. The current board, (the new board) is a great group with fantastic leadership. I know Gail and I know she believes in openness, and will work to make everything known. I also know she is taking on some past mistakes, and is up to dealing with them. This new situation with the WDA commiting us to the Wold Trials could prove to be a great boon for our club, or a big problem. When Gail and our board have been given the information, they will let us know and we can let them have our opinions. We were never told about this before, and it seems to be something done years ago. Now we have the right to understand the risks and benifits, and the costs and profits anticipated. Evidently Schutzhund USA is doing it before we are, and we can learn by what happens with them. The GSDCA has great leadership in our board and our President. Let's all stand behind them, give them a chance, and be ready to kick if it is needed. We will, after all, be behind them at the time. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
