Galloway Members:

 

Speaking of Breeders Directories.....What format will be used for the AGBA Breeders Directory?  Some of us have seen the Canadian's Breeders Directory and their format is gorgeous. Not only are the Breeders Present, they also sell display ads, discuss individual programs that are being run Ect.  

 

Wouldn't it be nice to overhaul our breeders directory into something much more interesting!

 

Perhaps one of our Dual Members of the Canadian & AGBA organizations could share what their printing costs might be.

 

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the NILE.

Galloway Friends:

 

You may have seen email traffic that suggests there are problems with the recording of membership fees paid to the Association.  There are not.

 

One member asked that the fee be charged to that member's credit card.  Credit card procedures are not yet set up, although they have been part of the new office plan from the beginning and are in the works.  It has been a matter of prioritizing work on the basis of importance.  Getting the registry and membership data bases in operating condition and on the Internet was the first priority.  The Association will let you know when credit card transactions are in operation.  In the meantime, the Association will record that particular member as paid for this fiscal year.

 

A second membership application with which a check was tendered is in process under normal procedure.

 

Nevertheless, you may want to check the Internet registry of members to be sure you are listed properly.  If you have individual problems, please let me know.  Making overbroad statements on the membership email list causes unnecessary confusion.

 

Lastly, please submit a membership application each year so that your contact information can be updated and verified.  Out of date contact information has been a problem in the past, particularly with breeder directories.
