<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's that time of the year again. The begging
for Basset Boardwaddle Dollars has begun. Last year for part of our pledge
drive we raffled off a Dyson Animal DC-17 vacuum with great success (even if it
was won by a Lab owner). We learned a couple of things in the process
however. First most men did not get excited about winning a vacuum (90% of
the ticket purchases were women). Second many of us with too many hounds
have long ago gotten rid of carpet and many more still had already traded up to
a Dyson. </FONT></DIV>
