We are facing some new challenges, and as a member your obligation is to consider what has caused the problems, and do not, I say clearly, do not vote for anyone who caused those problems. Now, I know that there has been a lack of full disclosure, but there are enough people who were involved who will tell you what went on. We know who is named in the law suit, and if you take a minute to read it, you will know than ever before. Some of them are good people, indeed I am proud to call a couple of them friends. But, they are not who we want on our board, and surly not people with the best interest of the club forefront. As for WDA, they for years, from the time we first established the club, (I was on the board at the time and encouraged it), didn't want to be under the GSDCA. But, it was the only way they could be recognized in America. There were a number of USA members who were dissatisfied with USA, and vice versa. They left to become part of the WDA, and brought with them a degree of hostility. When Ken Downing was president of the WDA, he tried to find a solution, and the response was for them to hold a special meeting without him and vote him out. Something against the by-laws. Ken and I discussed it at the time. When we elect our new board, we need to find members who will find a way to turn around the direction of our club. Our current board members, as well as past members have worked as hard as they could to do the right thing, as they saw it. That has not been enough. Think carefully when you vote, consider the past, get as much information as you can, and then do the right thing. That is what we want from our board, and it is what they should receive from the membership. Evan L.
