Despite many reservations about the club, I have renewed. I hope that this year will bring us to a better place than we were last year. I was appauled by the actions taken on many issues, but I too hope that we can all move forward and do for our dogs, and not ourselves. My shameless plugs for the Florida shows, all of them, is not for myself, not to get attention, but rather to increase entries in Florida shows with the hopes that both the regional clubs and the parent club will benifit. sheila Cudjoegsd <cudjoegsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Words of wisdom, Helen, but this is not the List that needs this post. I think 90% of these listers are in agreement with you. It is the vocal minority on the "other" list that need your words of wisdom.

Unfortunately ,for our GSDCA ,2007 was it's worst year since the club was first founded. Between the Hunte fiasco,the inexcusable law suit, and the frivolous charges made against President Lew Bunch and his 2007 Board.it nearly destroyed us. Members vowed not to renew, and some actually resigned. Then I happened to look the wonderful new GSDCA website. How could our President Lew and the Board be charged with wrongdoing ,and mismanagement of our club , and still leave the GSDCA in the best financial condition we've ever been in. Go check that Bottom Line. Look at those numbers!! In 2006,the club made $95,229--- the highest yearly profit in GSDCA History.!! The 2007 books are not closed yet,nor audited,but a big profit is again expected. Yes,bad mistakes were made,but obviously with no intent to deliberately harm the GSDCA . We should be thankful that we had a strong B/F committee( Gary Szymczak, as chair),and that committee chairs kept within their budgets. And our President Lew,getting additional funding from Purina,and Royal Canine. He got Royal Canine to support 25 of our regional clubs to enable the to have their shows,and has a contract for to do the same for 35 clubs in 2008. And it was our President that got Purina to sponsor our Nationals,and donate all the Futurity-Maturity trophies for the Regional clubs,saving them money. Lots of good things occurred. Think about it - some of this group--the 2007 BOD ,all of them volunteers ,are being sued,and charged with mismanagement of the GSDCA--Absolutely absurd. Lets wipe the slate clean, start the new year positively, and give our new Board a chance . Helen Miller Fisher **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Database | Calendar ***** Visit our website at: www.gsdshowlist.org ***** The Gsdshowlist is a private forum and all email posted to this list should be treated as private email.
