It was worth it, but I am older now and no longer have enough to spend to be on the board. Since as an attorney I always kept track of my time. While on the board, I spent at least 10 hours a week on club business. When I registered the trade-mark for the club, I paid the fees. When I did contracts for the club, they were free. When I had to register the club to change it from The Shepherd Dog Club to The German shepherd Dog Club, I paid for it. I have over 20 Banker Boxes of pleading, letters, and documents from when I was on the board. They are in storage. I too am not griping. I was honored to be elected to the board. Today I would not have the time to do it. And, I no longer have the energy it requires. I enjoyed being on the board, but could/would never do it again. Evan L.
