----- Original Message ----- From: "glenwood" <glenwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > I am surprised that in this day and age that teleconferencing or conference calling is not used for the meetings...It could save you lots of time and be cheaper in the long run.> I don't know anything about the cost, but the Board of the Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America has 1 face-to-face meeting per year(at the National) and all other meeting are by teleconference...any non-Board members who want to attend do so at their own expense...
