Raymond:
Seriousley thats not a solution because it won,t happen. Yes some will leave most will stay. UScA had the opposition beat well before the meeting ever took place. The President won by almost 2/3 majority what real choice was there for therm. Matt is a good man but your looking at a National Orginization with internal strife,Another 2National Orginization,s throwing up road blocks as often as possible(GSDCA-WDA, AKC) and several World Orginizations to deal with (S.V. FCI, Ect...).
I belong to 2 different Martial Arts Orginizations in the U.S. I pay around 300,00 a year in dues I get a few peices of paper thrown at me stapeled together every six months. 150.00 a year for what I get is a pretty good deal. A nice magazine quartley,more trials then I can trial at in a year for my GSD I believe UScA still offers more trialing opertunities then any other breed club or National Orginization exsisting and even still has a All breed working dog championship for those with Other then GSD breeds. 150.00 a year is chump change.
It,s not perfect by a LONG shot but until the opostition sets down and puts together real goals attainable for the group and gets some real direction we will get what we have.

Thank you and it's wonderful that you are supporting your club member! I'm lucky in that I can choose to stay with the new due or choose not to and I have about a year to figure out which way I want to go.
I just feel a $40 bump for single membership and a $60 bump for family membership is going to be hard for some people to choke down but maybe there will be published an accounting of expenses to explain where these numbers come from.

bgstout,
I understand the simplicity of it, If they could pay it per month maybe it would seam like less of a sting, but they can't and $100.00 or $150.00 dollars is alot to come up with all at once for some people.
Just saying!

I commend you for helping out a fellow club member. I paid the USA dues for a women in our club that I used to belong to that was going thru money issues she was having.
Those are the kinds of things that make a good club and club members. You should not take any BS from any helper because of the line of dog you train.
