A Note from the GSCA President

Greetings All,

Final arrangements and last minute details for the 2011 National Specialty are keeping all of the board members and specialty committee members on our toes. We are looking forward to creating a memorable event for all attending. Like all specialties and club events the generosity of the members has always provided the necessary funding to make these events a success. The downturn in our nation’s economy has played a pivotal role in this year’s specialty plans as donations have been way down, and we are finding ourselves in a position to really pare down expenses to a minimum and keep a very close eye on the budget. Any and all donations will be appreciated, so please contact Sheila Lietz, Specialty Treasurer, sklietz@gmail.com, (815) 579-1151, if you can make a donation. Auction items can be sent to Wendy Sheffler, 1819 Charity Court, Fenton, MO 63026.

Consistent with past National Specialties, fundraising by other organizations will not take place at this National Specialty or its associated venues.

We encourage everyone to attend, bring your cameras and your best “I can help” attitude and roll up your sleeves and have a ball as the finest Giant Schnauzers in the world are presented, paraded and saluted for their beauty, conformation, grace, obedience  and athletic ability; and after all, isn’t that what it’s all about?

For those not making the trip, plans are being made to have daily results posted to the GSCA website and “2011 GSCA National” Facebook page.

See you in St. Louis!!!

Doug Hill
President, Giant Schnauzer Club of America
