I had hoped that a WDA Board member would respond to these questions but since they have not yet I will take a stab at it and then give you some email addresses for WDA. First of all the GSDCA-WDA Board meeting is usually held on Sunday, immediately following the GSDCA Board Meeting. So, if there are GSDCA Board members who also serve on the GSDCA-WDA Board then yes their airfare has been paid by the GSDCA to attend the GSDCA-WDA Board meeting. I do not know if other GSDCA-WDA Board members have their airfare paid, I do not have access to the GSDCA-WDA financials. How much money does the GSDCA donate to GSDCA-WDA? The GSDCA donated $200 for a trophy for the GSDCA-WDA National Trial, there may have been other donations, you can ask the GSDCA Budget and Finance Chair - Ken Downing. Ken's email is abraxaskp@xxxxxxxxxxx or once the financials are completely closed out ask the GSDCA Treasurer - Bill Pfeiffer, email is Grey Pines@xxxxxxxx The WDA Liaison to the GSDCA Board is David Landau, his email is dlanda u@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So I guess my best advice for getting answers to the GSDCA-WDA questions is to ask the people who know and to send emails or make phone calls to those officers and directors listed on the WDA web site: www.gsdca-wda.org Lew ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
