Sorry to disagree, but it was the whole of the club that got the Regional and the Specialty off the ground that was held by the LIGSPC not one person.

Being intimately involved in the GSA from the SHGSPC event I'm chiming in (although wiser people will tell me to be quiet).  We all know it took a team of people to pull off an event, however I know that Cathy took a leadership position in getting the regional off the ground and worked tirelessly with the GSA organization on specific projects.  I know many others did as well - kudos to all of them!!  There were many conversations and Cathy never took credit, nor did she refer to "her crew".  To the contrary it seemed the LI club pulled together to pull off a great event and teamwork prevailed. 

 

With that said, I'd like to add that if it wasn't for her endless support of this event and all the headaches with the venue change I would have had a much more difficult time getting our Sunday show off the ground.   So for the record - thanks Cathy?

Again, So Sorry I started something.  I do not know the intricacies of how it happened, only that it happened very quickly.  Pulling it off demonstrates that difficult things can get done.  That was my point.  I apologize for the phrasing.

I would like to point out here that I never claimed to have gotten the Nassau Coliseum, not did I ever refer to the LIGSPC members who did Meet the Breeds or any other event as my "Crew".   Nor did I claim to have done all the work for the GSPCA Regional.  Ever.

I would like to clear something up.  Cathy DID NOT get the Nassau coliseum NOR did she NAIL DOWN THE GARDEN SPECIALTIES in less than a month. Due to a problem with the original site, the members of the Garden Speciality Association had to look for a new location.  Once the new site was found, the clubs that were having their Specialties had to decided if they would be able to move to that location.  Due to the new location some of the clubs were unable to do the show.  The LIGSPC  Board Members made the decision to try and hold a Regional Specialty with the approval of the GSPCA.  Once the GSPCA approved the Regional, the Members of the LIGSPC went to work to put on the show.  Yes we only had two weeks to do this.  With alot of phone calls, disagreements and HARD WORK we managed to get everything done.  It was NOT ONE PERSON  or the "CREW" of one person who did this show.   It was the  Members of the LIGSPC who pulled together to get the job done.  Our club works very hard to put together all our events.

I think Cathys frustration is apparent because she has demonstrated how truly effective she is. Getting the Nassau coliseum and nailing down the garden specialties in less than a month would not have happened with committees and facilitators. It was an effective leader pulling off a miracle. I appreciate anyone who can get things done like that. The GSPCA is fortunate to have such talent and commitment. If I wanted to get something difficult accomplished I would want Cathy on it. So you go girl.

Cathy,  I have to agree with you on the use of the word "terrorist".  One of my dearest friends husbands worked ground zero and shared the most horrible and yet heartwarming stories.  I hate to be sensitive about it, but terrorism is beyond the scope of this list.  Let's bring it back down, besides there are other names to call you that are more entertaining (just joking on the last part).

Right, people are trampling over our rights as GSPCA members and I am the terrorist.  What have I said so far that is untrue Andi?  No, my goal is to raise awareness before the meetings coming up so that people have time to inves
