Hi Kathy, I actually emailed you back the end of Feb to ask you about Ken participating. (I did not have his direct email address then). I am sorry, you must have missed that email. I absolutely do not use the List as the only source to get the word out on these new and exciting handler/vendor pages. In all of my emails to multiple lists and individual handlers, exhibitors, etc. I have asked for everyone to spread the word and send anyone interested my way OR give me contact info and I would be more than happy to contact additional folks. The end of Feb. I contacted many many handlers by phone or email. Many from the west coast....In fact all areas. Many chose not to participate in the April issue. We also have Kathleen Strong(west), Becky Dickson & Marilyn Smith(east) in addition to myself working on these and many other exciting new things for the Review. I certainly apologize to anyone who did not know about the April Handler pages. I did my best to find contact information on as many as I could through lists, parent club directories, referrals, every weekend at shows etc. In fact, many of us dedicated many hours of several days or weeks to this last minute endeavor. My goal is to have EVERY handler in those pages. As I said, there were several that said no to the April issue and obviously some that didn't know about it or did not get my email etc. I am compiling a list or database to have of handlers. So, anyone out there who wants to help, start sending me any info you have on handlers or vendors you know. Again, we worked very hard on this and I thought they turned out very nice for the first outing. We will continue to grow this project along with others and keep adding handlers as we gain their info & commitments.

You can save $20 if you commit and pay for a year in advance. 4 Issues $240 paid by May 10th. Jeff, You need to remember not all handlers are List members, or have an interest in it......you need to contact them by phone or email to allow them the opportunity to place ads, otherwise you are EXCLUDING many of them that may have liked to put an ad in the APRIL issue. Don't rely on this one medium to get the word out...it is not the be all, end all of communication with the handlers in this country. You should think seriously about going to the PC site and getting phone numbers for many (gee where were so many of the west coast handlers in these ads???) and contacting that way. That is only fair. Kathy Tank ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
