Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Worried about the GSDCA
 

I am not clear on how a Centennial Celebration for GSD's can have a seat limit. 
 I wonder if our club has moved toward a two tier membership?  It would have 
made more sense to invite all active club members by sending out actual tickets 
or RSVP's with all the information such as cost, dress, time, agenda, etc... 
and then holding us (the members) responsible to send back our RSVP's by a 
certain date.  Then plan the event around that number.  Clearly some people may 
not attend due to cost, dress, time involved etc....  That brings up a question 
of how important is it to have the membership in attendance?  Is it a priority, 
obligation or a choice?  Because if it is our choice as members, then we should 
also consider things like time, place, and dress. Many of the exhibitors, 
breeders, members are working all week to show their dogs.  Many of these 
people would love to celebrate with the others but they need time in the full 
agenda to get ready, get
 to the place, have appropriate
  parking etc, and be able to relax and party, celebrate and visit. Were these 
issues prioritized?  As we move forward it would serve the Board and the 
Committee members to remember that our club is not growing.  It seems that many 
of our members are aging out of the club, passing away, and not re-joining.  We 
need to be mindful of the type of members our membership is made up of and 
serve them all or like many ancient civilizations, they cease to exist.  This 
is only meant to spark some innovative ideas for future membership celebrations 
at the National Futurity Shows and even Regional Shows.  It is evident that the 
Board is doing much better than in years past, but having a limited anything 
now a days is almost insulting to people who are supposed to share the same 
goodwill and passion of the the GERMAN SHEPHERD BREED.  (In My Humble Opinion)!!
