From another list:
""In the Jan 09 AKC Gazette, on page 88, far left column, halfway down, is a 
"proposal" by the AKC president, that everyone should write about.

I cannot imagine anyone approving of this idea.


His "proposal" to get more money for AKC (like we don't all contribute 
enough, already) is to (and here I quote the exact line) - "Financing - will 
be through the establishment of an annual activity fee for each dog 
exhibited, set at approximately $25.00."

   now, this part is from me (Peggy)
           I don't get the Gazette.....and I have no idea (yet) what kind of 
"report" or article this quote is from...but it does seem pretty
clear that anyone who wants to show a dog at an AKC event in the future is 
going to have to pay $25 a year for the privilege.  Can this
be right?  What are we paying all the other money for............first they 
upped the fee to show ANYTIME by $3, and now we're going
to have an annual charge stuck on top?  Have these people heard of the 
recession?
