Pacific Standard Time, acorreia1043@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: An applicant MUST be endorsed by two (2) GSDCA members in good standing. The question is raised; As I understand it, this was changed a few years ago, and we no longer require two endorsements. But, I do know of a person who was denied membership due to a complaint filed by another member. Since that is how things are being done, the board can and does deny membership. There seem to be strong feelings on this one. I don't know enough to give an opinion. I am trying to educate myself on this person, and if I am able to do so, I will contact the board. Please do what you feel is right for you and the club.

OUR PROBLEM LIES IN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN ALERTED THAT IF WE COMPLAIN IN WRITING, WE CAN BE SUED BY THE APPLICANT... THAT HAS CAUSED MUCH CONSTERNATION, AMONG THOSE OF US WHO WISH TO OPPOSE MR. HUNTE'S MEMBERSHIP INTO THE GSDCA... I FOR ONE, AND I AM SURE I SPEAK FOR ALL OF US, WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCEED, BY A FORMATTED LETTER, THAT WE COULD ALL SIMPLY FILL IN THE BLANKS...?? OR POSSIBLY BY PETITION????? ETC. ETC. BARB WILLIAMS ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
