We reorganized and have been promoting our club thru puppy sales, Offering training free to members. We have also been looking at the review for anyone in our area, that has applied to the PC and calling or writing them and inviting them to become a member. The problem is here is that it is a bout a 5-6 month lag time between application and the time the name appears in the review.If the membership committee of the PC could also copy the regional club,maybe we could attract some of these prospective members. JMO Todd and Joanie Vigor ==================================================================== Hi all, Just a note, I do the public mailings for the GSDCA from the Parent Club Office. People that register a GSD with AKC receive a flyer from the GSDCA that offers a GSD pamphlet, offers a list of clubs in their state, and a GSDCA-WDA information sheet. One of the best things you can do is make sure your club information is current and correct on the Parent Club website. That is where I pull my information from. If you are not a member club, and are trying to reorganize, please let me know. If nothing else you could mentor a new puppy or GSD person. My turn around is usually 24 to 48 hours from the time I receive their request. If your club's information is not up to date on the GSDCA.org website, please let Bill Pfeiffer know at _GreyPines@xxxxxxxx (mailto:GreyPines@xxxxxxx) Or you can send your current information to me at _GSDCAOffice@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:GSDCAOffice@xxxxxxxxx) Laura Gilbert GSDCA Office ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
