-----Original Message----- The Governor of New Jersey intends to close 9+ state parks in New Jersey. A number of these parks are used for Dog shows, Specialties, Agility Trials, Obedience, Rally and Lure Coursing. We need all the help we can get to keep these parks open. One of the parks slated to be closed is Ringwood State Park, Shepherds Lake. As you all know, this is the beautiful park where IWAGS holds its specialty. The NJ Governor's office is conducting a poll as to whether the State Parks should be closed -- Please call ... 609-292-6000. You do not have to be from New Jersey to call. I just spoke with a woman at that number - She was very pleasant and said to keep the calls coming in. She also is against the park closures. I just gave my mane and said "I would like to voice my objection to closing the State Parks in New Jersey especially Ringwood State Park, Shepherds Lake. They are keeping a tally of all the phone calls they receive - So please call. You have to let it ring a long time before they answer. Please do this and pass this on to as many lists and people as you can. Thanks, Eileen --------------------------------- Ginger Cleary,Rome, GA w <http://www.rihadin.com> ww.rihadin.com ?The world is not going to be saved by legislation.?
