Ken / Lew: I look forward to receiving the check and depositing it into our GSDCA Purina Restricted funds account. Regards Bill _Bill Pfeiffer, GSDCA Treasurer, Internet Chair & Contracts Chair 919-781-4955_ (http://treasurer@xxxxxxxxx/) In a message dated 4/8/2006 12:49:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, ABRAXASKP@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Congratulations to all German Shepherd dog owners who are members of the Purina Pro Club and participate by sending in your weight circles from each bag of Purina dog food. In 2005 the GSDCA, Inc. had 3,132 Pro Club members declared for the Purina Parent Club Partnership Program. There were 1,130 Pro Club members that redeemed weight circles from January through December 2005. The GSDCA, Inc. earned $26,414.47 for our participation, $13,207.23 will be given to the Canine Health Foundation for use in our donor advised fund. The remaining $13,207.23 is given to the GSDCA, Inc. to be placed in the GSDCA, Inc. restricted funds for our use in education, health or rescue efforts as directed by the program. Since 2002 when the Officers and Board of Directors of the GSDCA, Inc. established our involvement in this most important program with Purina we have earned thousands and thousands of dollars for use by the Canine Health Foundation. In addition, the GSDCA, Inc. has thousands and thousands of dollars still being held in the restricted funds account to be used for education, health or rescue efforts. Just imagine how much more money could have been earned for the Canine Health Foundation and the GSDCA, Inc. to be used in the all important areas of health, education or rescue efforts if all 3,132 Pro Club members already declared for the Purina Parent Club Partnership program had sent in and redeemed their weight circles. It could have been as much as $75,000 to $80,000. I implore everyone to get behind this program and participate. The Board of Directors (holding office in 2002) and I have been very fortunate to have been involved in this most important and worthwhile program since its inception in 2002. I have been honored to have served as the GSDCA, Inc. representative and contact person for the Purnia program since the inception in 2002. Once again, I implore each and every one of you to participate in this most worthy program. I have forwarded the check for $13,207.23 that I received from Purina to current President, Lew Bunch to be placed in the GSDCA, Inc. restricted funds.
