I stand corrected...all we have to do is keep moving the National and 
membership will grow...how could I have been so wrong....learn something new 
every day......so lets have it in  Oakland next year, Jasper Wyoming in 2012, 
then Arkansas, then Hawaii, then Las Vegas, New York City is a 
bast...........opps....almost got hit by a pigeon driving a bus......Ed

  I can tell you that the interest in showing GSDs increased inthe buildup to 
the Albany National. We got new regional club members and some new parent club 
members. We also got some former exhibotors to come and watch and a couple of 
people now have show puppies. It was because of the national. We still see 
residual results as peple from other breeds who went to the show talk about it 
and cause others to be interested. By he way, it also got some new GSDs 
involved in other events besides conformation. It also got new exhibitors make 
the trip to Ft Collins. All because several years before they saw a National 
within reasonable driving distance. This can happen throughout the country as 
the show moves around.
   
  Tha fact that several of the new members became discouraged with the parent 
club a year or two later was not due to national location but parent club 
policies and actions.

Kathy we do need new members, but having the National rotated to different  
locations is not going to increase membership....Oregon, Florida, Denver, St  
Louis,Concord N.C., Columbus Ohio,Perry Georgia, Lexington...this year  
Beaumont, next year Ohio, year after that Utah...these are the past and near  
future National locations...so if location changes equaled new members,  we'd 
have no problem with increasing membership...the National needs to be  more 
stationary for economical reasons...the days are over for large numbers of  
members flying and driving all over the country......I was told that one of the 
 best handlers in the country, Ken Tank was not at the Northern CA shows 
because  of client expenses ( no Ken did not tell me this).....I have some 
ideas about  how to increase membership and I have expressed many over the 
years right here  on this list....but changing things, many times is like 
peeing in the  ocean...the color,  temperature, and depth remains the
 same....Ed  Kathy Tank <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:   There are problems with 
three  areas only or one area.....if we are to EVER  bring in new people, or

more places. If we stick to the same three or  single areas, we will have no 
way to expose newcomers from different parts  of the country to our BIGGEST 
SHOW.  If we rotated amongst the nine futurity regions it would mean more 
exposure  for the club...look around folks...WE NEED NEW MEMBERS DESPERATELY.
