Well, I am more than just a little impressed. You could not have better or more knowledgeable people to work with than Ginny and Barbara. Makes me think someone is doing something right.

This has not been my experience at all. I've owned GSD's for a very long time, but I'm fairly new to showing and the Club. A few years ago, I meet Ginny at the National Victory dinner. We talked about health issues and our Breed for well into the night. Ginny didn't know me at all, but as the Health and Genetics Committee Chair, she asked me if I'd like to serve on the Committee. I agreed to do so. The new Co-Chair, Barbara Williams, has asked me to serve as well. I've been asked to help the Club in other ways too. If you bring some skill/talent/knowledge to the table, I think the Club will be glad to utilize what you have to offer. One last thing, don't be shy or modest about "selling" yourself.
