That's the one that gives me the butterflies. (I'm not worried over the National/Centennial). If I understand correctly from Zoe's post we (the GSDCA) gave a $25K deposit and costs for the week are projected not to exceed $189K. I know the location is FANTASTC, but I can't get my arms around anticipated revenue. I have a fuzzy idea that there will be streaming video coverage, folks (international) can pay to watch and I have a fuzzy idea that we anticipate a lot of walk in traffic (????) and we want sponsors and now I know that the WDA is heading committees. I read Jeff's post y-day and apparently there is a lot of hiring in his neck of the woods, and that's super but I can only tell you in my neck of the woods people are keeping their powder dry. That's a big bill to cover. This is NOT a knock on the board members who have and are working VERY hard on this, and Tish I know it's something you inherited (gosh, does that sound familiar lol????), and I realize when Gail gave the go-ahead that we weren't in an economic slowdown but...that's a big bill to cover.

He was voted on by the Board at the end of April so he is working now on setting up his committees. It will be primarily WDA members heading up the major committees with support, I hope, from GSDCA members. The World Trial is a very prestigious event and 25 or more countries of the world send teams to compete. It will be well publicized in the area to draw local people to attend. Sponsors are being sought. We have a deposit on the stadium and the rest owed will be figured out after the event as attendance and other things may influence the amount. The President of the SV, Wolfgang Henke, and others will be here to celebrate our Centennial and for the World Trial. If you want to contact Dan directly the email is _2013wusv@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:2013wusv@xxxxxxxxx) Tish In a message dated 8/9/2011 7:10:10 P.M.
