Sorry this is a bit off topic Confused

Well, donations are coming in very slow this year. I'm a little concerned that I'm going to show up at the banquet like a complete idiot Embarassed

I've sent out over 200 letters to manufacturers and suppliers, numerous phone calls and I have approx 5 donations from companies. Individuals have donated everything from glasses to artwork. I have received approx 10 donations from the Fort Detroit Members.

Now, I'm forced to appeal to the lovers of the GWP.

Any donation, art work, dog supplies, horse supplies, etc..., would be appreciated.

Besides items that I end up buying, I'm going to donate three baskets containing my companies products. This will include Lubridern, benadryl, sudafed, listerine, foam viagra tablets, halls throat lozenges, triple antibiotic oinment, etc. Heck, I could even include horse wormer. Forty pound bag of daily feed supplement or syringe admistered.

Please help if you can Very Happy

If you donateitems, the money can specified to be used for rescue or for the local club to help defreay the cost for nationals.

I dont' know him, but someone in our club had their TShirt on this weekend. Apparently they spent some time talking with the owner and he expressed some interest.
I would suggest you tell him we will put out his catalogs, show off his stuff, etc. Win Win for everyone.

I'll be at the fairgrounds on thursday..... that is if the motorhome cooperates and gets me there!

Also, did you contact Fred Cohen from TBI? He has been extremely generous in years past. I still have his banner from a couple of years ago. Give him a call!!!!
