It's great to have LEADERS that can ALL play nicely in the same sandbox, unfortunately it rarely happens. And it is not just the GSDCA; I've been President or a Board members of several organizations from the MDA to the BSA. usually the Scouters are the best behaved, but I can remember at least once sad moment with them. We need to vote for LEADERS that can WORK TOGETHER for the COMMON GOOD. We VOTE because we respect their LEADERSHIP, KNOWLEDGE and ABILITIES; NOT because WE LIKE THEM. I like many people but would never vote for them for an OFFICE in the GSDCA or any other Club. Some of the most LIKABLE PEOPLE are POOR LEADERS!!

It is a great club and Barbara is a treasured and valued member. We do no fighting, we enjoy each other and our differences and we get the job done..

I too agree about clubs getting smaller due to bickering and nitpicking. A few years ago my husband and I joined a local club and after a while it seemed like there was so much fighting going on over petty stuff that we finally left that club and joined the one we're in presently. Who wants to attend functions where this is going on? We have been active members of our present club for more than 10 years and I can honestly say I can count on most of our membership to help out our club for meetings and shows and not get negative feedback. ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2008.
