I keep thinking, what do I need with a parent club?
I can still go to dog shows. I can still try to finish a dog. I can get
Grand Champion points. I have still a Breeder of Merit pin. I got my CHIC
award. I see all my friends at the shows, and other friends if I drive to
Utah, or Phoenix, or San Francisco.
I will still be allowed to judge a dog show, if asked again.
I will miss those friends from back East. I won't have Futurities, but I
only go to one or maybe two of those a year. I will miss a major show
called the National. I won't get to blog, or talk on the microphone. I won't
have to bring something home for the office staff. I won't have to spend a
week in a hotel, or eat out every night. I won't have to put up with below
average quality food each day. I won't have to work all year to gather
money for the Junior Handler who wins, and I won't have to spend about $2,000
a
year to keep it up, and buy awards.
I won't get any big red and black Select ribbons, or beautiful glass AOE
awards. I won't have to ask for championship pins, or hope against hope to
get some sort of award or recognition from the GSDCA.
Ask not what I can do for the parent club, ask instead, what they are
doing to me, (I mean doing for me). Or do I mean what I just said?

will just let it go and continue so long as they can keep going to dog
shows.... But then I remind myself, I'm different, thank God! Ed Hill

HAHAHAHAHAHA/
I want to clarify my statement. At least ONE Board member told me he
did not vote to change the
National site back to Purina.

HAHAHAHAHAHA/
I was thinking exactly the same thing! ( were these actually "MAJORITY
VOTE" decisions?? ) Will we ever KNOW??
How is it that an entire Board thinks that cutting off a good deal of the
entries by making it more difficult for 1/3 of the
membership to get to a National for years now......... is going to make
the National more profitable???
I wonder if this is the same group that thinks cutting the Futurities to
LESS.... so that there are fewer and therefore farther
away and we have to drive further to participate in one .....will also
make the Futurities more profitable??
How does an entire Board think alienating 1/3 of the membership that has
supported the Club and Nationals and Futurities
for years to the point of losing a few or many....believe this will help
the Club recover monetarily.....while throwing money
in another big hole called SV??
THIS is exactly why I refused to run for the Board for a third term.
I told them at that time ... "you people do not think the same way I
do"........."there literally was no point in going to meetings
and participating".........

I can answer that very easily, but first you answer my question ,actually
two! What makes you think having the National every year in St Louis "
represents" the wishes of the club, and second. Tell us how ALL board members
voted on going back to St Louis! Then I will gladly grant your request! Ed

Friends do not ask Friends to run for the Board
Stormy declined to run as did Evan
And I would Bet that Carolyn would have also refused
And why would you think that having half the Board from California would
be a fair representation
of Membership?
