I don't know Margery and of course don't know her circumstances on why she could not attend most of last years meetings., and don't care to speculate. However , from what she says, it doesn't sound like she will be dependable to fulfill her position this year for personal reasons, that we all should pray she can get resolved. The GSDCA still has to have someone in that position. I feel it would only be ethical for her to keep the best interest of the GSDCA at heart and resign her position so someone else can be appointed to cover the duties. If things work out for her , she can always run again next year. She should not be thinking of what someone else thinks , or how glad or mad it will make them . Just what is in the best interest of the GSDCA. Judi **************Start the year off right.
