Tish's report on the 27th sort of refers to the need for sod at one site, but no real comment on Astro-Turf, per se. But, it makes sense that if we don't need to buy sod, something else is there??? ------------------------------------------------------- "2011 National: There is a site in Topeka Kansas that is evidently excellent (Doberman Centennial was there). They have been wanting the GSDCA to come and offering us good incentives. Last October the Board voted to remain in Salt Lake for 2010. At this meeting, in light of our financial problems, the good incentives and site in Topeka were brought up again. It was pointed out by our show chairman Bill Burggraaf that it appears we do not have a signed contract with Lexington. Consequently the vote of the Board was to check with Topeka to see if it was available for the same week in 2011. A firm decision on 2012 was not made. The Ft. Collins site is quite a bit more expensive and one of the reasons for that is the necessity of purchasing sod." --------------------------------------------------------- Paula Home of Best in Show, Multi-Group Winning, GSDCA Dual Title Award Recipient, AKC JAM/AOE, International and American Champion Asgard Harley Davidson v Plamark, HT, PT, CGC, TC, HIC, OFA (Hips, Elbows, Heart & Thyroid) DNA tested clear of the long-coat factor. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Gail BAUMAN <gailbauman1@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Topeka & Astro Turf Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:30:00 -0500 Do we even HAVE confirmation from the Board that all of what is being talked about is, in fact happening? I have seen NO board meeting minutes or anything else from them "officially" just people saying they heard this or that and then speculating on whether or not it will work. Could we hear the final word from THE BOARD?
