It's free advertising, it's positive, it's fun and many enjoy it. Clubs can promote their shows and we expect this to increase our membership.

Is that too simple? Any site/venue needs to direct people to the GSDCA. And the contributions, comments, etc, should be reviewed by a GSDCA committee before giving answers willy nilly without any real authority. Its like keeping 4 planners in one household, things get lost. BTW, I do use Facebook, Flicker and Linkedin, and have for a long time now. Its nothing new. Not sure its where the GSDCA needs to be placing effort. Like it or not, just because is on the Internet is not necessary the "best" thing to do. And shouting to the wind doesn't make it true.

Whether people "LIKE" (sorry had to say that, lol) or not the Facebook page and other social media, it is THE largest most popular way to network with folks having common interests in the world. It may be different, and it may be new for many. However , different and new are where younger people, and new people live... We just want to show them that the GSDCA and GSDCA-WDA are welcoming to all .
