Our judges group (Oregon Dog Judges) have approximately 45 active members and we donate around $500.00 per year... and donate to local Jr. Showmanship scholarships. We sponser Group seminars every year at the Rose City Cluster and this helps with the income. Surely this parent club could do as well as that. Take a look at the Foundation. It donates a great deal of money, is sponsored by the GSDCA, has a dinner meeting at each national, and is run by four or five people that spend nothing on themselves. This is the GSDCA, and all members are GSDCA members. It is the charity arm of our club, and does a great job. You have to add in what they donate to get a true picture.
