Evan I 100% agree with your post, and I am putting this on the list!!!! Well said. As you preach all the time, the board does work hard, and most do have the club and membership in mind, it's the handful that does not seem to care or have any regard for the membership or Regional Clubs that makes this so hard to understand and accept. I don't know what it's going to take to wake them up. Chris Chris S. (Jolley) Kimerer www.tanbarkgsd.com Ch. Tanbark's 2MuchBling Joelle Aramist OFA H/E Ch.
