Repeat Reminders:

From Linda Chernak, President:
As a reminder …. No one from this club will solicit any member by email for money of any means, to be reimbursed at a later date. No one is busy or tied up in a meeting and requesting you for favors. If you receive such an email, delete it. There is no need to advise the supposed sender, its spam. Apparently, changing passwords no longer works. Several months ago AKC and GSDCA had sent out notifications that they were hacked. Although they have done whatever possible to secure their system, club’s membership lists were at risk. The only request you may receive from the club would be for donations to shows or trials, something that these spammers would not use in their requests.

From Mike Souza, Webmaster:

I would like to invite you to check out the updates that we’ve applied to our Club Website. We’ve rebuilt it from the bottom up. This new website will add some modern functionality that should serve us well in the years to come.

There are some private areas on the new website that are ONLY visible to you, our club members. This will allow us to share information with you that we might not want out there for public consumption. In order to view those private areas, you will need to create a login and password.

Registration is a multi-step process that will require individual review and approval. That review process can take up to 24 hours. This may seem cumbersome and unfriendly, but this process has been put in place to ensure that all of your/our data is strictly controlled and protected. No unauthorized visitors can pass this process.

In the meantime, keep in mind that more than 90% of the website is visible without a login. So go on and take a look. Your feedback, criticisms and suggestions are welcome. Please let us know what you think: German Shepherd Dog Club of Greater New Haven Inc (gsdcgnh.org)
