My earlier reply covered this, but again. RIGHT NOW, when people ask, I say PETPAC, NAIA, then, CFODC. The California Federation of Dog Clubs is Closely allied with PETPac as we always do, this weekend we jointly worked together in a BIG way raising funds for PETPac and talking to people, much to our budget's dismay. (I'm treasurer, and I cry a lot :-) Please read Carolyn's and my posts to the list, as PETPac was fully explained. As far as the $10,000, maybe Paul will explain further, but it is somewhere in my dim memory that the donation would be given if funds were matched. People stopped donating to RALEEF quite a ways back, and we never did get fundraising much beyond our own specialty shows (with exceptions, and GREAT ones...I haven't forgotten LOL). AS far as RALEEF is concerned in THIS fight, I make sure that everybody knows that I am GSDCA's SP Representative, in every post and every letter. Paul isn't up to the fight and we simply don't have a base of visibility or acceptance as a legislative force. Hopefully that can be changed. But that's not here and now. RIGHT NOW, we have to look to PETPac. If we kill this Wednesday, then we can talk about the future. If we don't, we need to put out those Buckets to get it done.
