well our GSDC of Greater Charlotee did had the SE,futurity 2010.we was not told that we have to pay for the plaques and we did hold the futurity to make some money for our future spec,shows.our expenses for the the futurity was over $ 600.00.so we did hoped that we make a profit.up to now we still don't know how much we are getting back from holding a futurity.I am disappointed about these and hope that the parent club will let everybody know ahead what to expect from us,so all you clubs who hold a futurity in the near future ask before you take on a futurity.maybe have it in black and white.from the parent club.right now more clubs are folding and many will follow these trend,thanks for letting me vent.President of the GSDC of Greater Charlotte,Doris Herbert ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
