W@yne 1296 post s 30-Apr-2008 2:01 PM	Jim I think a good idea would be contacting all the main pigeon suppliers IE BODDY AND RIDEWOOD, WWw.everythingforpets.com. There's lots more if you Google and look Any local suppliers near your location? Ask for pigeon baskets, Pigeon food, Traps, bowls Anything all pigeon fanciers can use. Email or phone and tell them about your fund raising, and the great cause it is for, Ask them will they contribute items for an auction or raffle I'm sure they would only be to willing to help you. Also Jim well done your doing an excellent job ---------- Regards W@yne UK Patience Perseverance Perfection ===================================== www.waynegrovesrollers.piczo.com

They get all the buisnesses in town to sponser volunteers to walk laps around the high school track! A lot of them just donate like a dollar per lap, but you get a couple hundred people to walk and all do 10 to 20 laps apiece and it adds up fast! Every year it gets bigger and bigger! Its a tax write off here in America for the buisnesses to donate! Just an idea we do in our home town! ---------- Val "Site Moderator"
