This is the best summary of a board meeting I've seen in a LONG time. Good job Gail. Too bad Carolyn McKenna doesn't get to judge juniors, she is a walking encyclopedia and the kids would've learned a lot. And the club would've saved money, as she is local. Hopefully she hasn't canceled other assignments for this one. Bummer. So.............. who is going to judge Juniors? I cant believe the time has come for the club to find a replacement for Nanci Nellis. Nope, I don't want her job, thank you very much, but as usual, let me know if I can help with anything. Good luck to all the members finding someone as classy as Nanci, Debbie, and Kathaleen. These are certainly big shoes to fill. With the present economy every time is a good time for a reminder that ALL MEMBERS can contribute to the trophy fund. Maybe not everyone can donate a trophy, but if everyone donated $5 to the trophy fund, the club would be in great shape. Some people donate $2000 some times, but times are changing. Besides, it shouldn't fall on one person only to run with this expense. Next thing you know, they think they own the club.......joking here, lets not get all wound up....LOL Was the mention of an associate editor more of a professional courtesy? I thought that was a very positive gesture on Susan's part, but no good deed goes unpunished........cant imagine anyone would complain about professional courtesy.......but I've been wrong before.......<G> By the way, I loved the recent Review with a Black GSD running in the meadow........no titles, just a good dog. Very nice....good job Susan. You have inspired me to place and ad. Besides Nanci's. what other positions are going to be open this year? Dare we mention the dreaded "E" word.....Elections..... Love the idea of the Dog/USA advertising, definitely a step in the right direction. And chocolate for getting your reports out on time??? Gail, you are brilliant!!! I am looking forward to the Olympics. Ileana **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
