Personally I really like Gene but have never met Nicole. Gene and all his work is a huge asset to the club. My position is for all members to leave your dogs at home. No dogs in the LZ ,period. Horses pose a real danger to pilots not to mention the poop factor. Return the horses to the original owner or euthanize them if that was on the table before, not to be mean. How about if a club member is found to have a dog on the property there should be a large of enough fine to stop the action and if someone’s animal soils someone’s gear there should be a larger fine paid to the victim. Dogs are cute but I’m not taking one on the tennis court.  My vote is to lift the ban on Gene and move forward with a new set of expectations for all members
