I will bring a current listing to verify membership status at the door. This rule has been in place since I joined the Club many years ago. I proposed to do away with this practice last year before I realized that it was part of our By-Laws and thus requiring AKC endorsement and membership approval before any change is effected.

One of the charges, the most damming for us all to comprehend, was that she made radical changes to the Terms and Agreements contract concerning the Hunte application. Lew spoke in such a way we were all convinced Margery Golant had done a horrible horrible deed. Changed official paper work and then sent it to Hunte's attorney. After the facts were all known, what Margery Golant did was make a few changes to the paper work with our attorney's permission as she felt it was very wrong to sign the paper work as it was written. She wrote alleged on a few lines and a few other non threatening words I don't recall at this moment. Be also advised that this was the number one charge against Margery Golant and at the conference call meeting this charge was dismissed, allegedly because Margery needed a couple of weeks to get a response from the GSDCA attorney and the vote was no one wished to wait for this response so the charge was discarded. For the record I never signed the "Terms and Agreements" papers that were passed around in the bar in July before the board meeting because I did not agree with them and so of course would not sign them.

Many of us know that Ken and Lew are not the best of friends. It is obvious that there is a split between the people that support them individually, and as you stated above, you support Ken, Tish, and Margy. I have seen posts from Margy which make it clear that she does not like Lew, and I've seen posts from Tish which I took to imply that she does not think much of Lew's ability to run a meeting. Given all of the information I've seen over the past several weeks, here is what leaves me scratching my head... Since you and other board members support Margy, how is it that all of the board members signed the letter asking her to resign? I know that one board member asked to have her name removed after the fact, but it is "before the fact" that has me wondering. Seeing the division between the board which is obviously centered on Lew, I am left wondering how Lew could possibly have convinced even the people who are obviously against him to sign that resignation request? Could you explain? I guess this is also a question to Tish and Carolyn? I did what I could to try to head off some of the insanity I've seen on the list, and I was accused of taking sides. I'm going to be accused of taking sides for asking this question too. So be it. At this point it looks like the election could be decided with a lynch mob mentality, and in fact that has been encouraged constantly on this list. In my view, that is not the best way to cast a vote.

It's not just about missing, but about why and what arrangements you make to get your job done, be it through asking someone to fill in or as Margy did, doing it over conference call. I THINK I remember that the rule was changed because Blanche had a hard time attending meetings. No one wanted to throw her off!

As you all know, I have attended almost every meeting in the past 20+ years. Margy missed the July 2005 meeting when Ginny was President. I remember it well because we had just moved to VA and were at Lake Anna. I flew out of National and could hardly walk my knee hurt so bad. It is one of the only meetings in 20 years when I didn't stay for the Sunday portion (I WAS NOT A BOARD MEMBER THAT YEAR!). Margy was sick in FL with shingles or something and her doctor would not let her fly. She participated in the meeting and took the minutes thanks to modern technology. She also missed the National meeting in Oregon. That says she missed 1 meeting out of 8 under Ginny Altman. Margy missed the April 2006 meeting because of an emergency with her Mother. Margy also missed the July 2007 meeting (and had asked me to cover for her). That says she missed 2 meetings out of 7 under Lew (we still have one to go remember). So by my figures, Margy missed 3 of 15 meetings (Board meets 4 times during the year). Now, we have had many Board members miss meetings for far less worthy reasons than Margy's. I must admit that this last meeting I had debated staying on Sunday. My family was having a big reunion in Colorado and I was missing the beginning of it. However, I decided that being a Board member, and martyr that I am (LOL), I would fly back later Sunday afternoon. Having attended so many meetings over the years I could probably tell you who didn't attend and why and who left early or didn't come in in time to visit a site or whatever. Attending meetings is very important, especially depending on your position. However, the reason you don't attend is also important. You know when you run for election when the meetings are. Therefore you can, and should, try to arrange your schedule so that you are able to attend the Board meetings and be there for the full duration.
