We must not ignore the Foundation. They donate great sums of money, research where funds are needed, and work for free. I know Peter Cassiopio is on this List, and maybe he can let us know what programs they have supported in the last couple of years. I do know that through an estate there was a donation of over $100,000.00. None of that will go to anything other than support of GSD research, and that is but one person. The Foundation is supported by the GSDCA and organized to protect our breed. It is one area where we can support the club, our breed,and the future of the German shepherd. Let's remember the purpose of our club, the betterment of the breed, the enjoyment of the members,and the survival of the German shepherd. Evan L.
