<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>This is so nice, I want to
share this with you! I'm part of the team of the Dutch Basset Rescue. It's
a quite young organisation of five volunteers. We find new homes for bassets who
cannot stay with there owner, for whatever reason you can think of.
For real problem cases and emergencies we have a special fund -the
BIN-box for Bassets in Need. Of course we keep looking for ways to
raise money since we depend on donations. One of the volunteers'
brother is going to do the next New York City Marathon, november 1st.
That's great as it is, but it gets even better: he's going tot run for the
bassets in need! isn't that fantastic!!! Through sponsoring. We allready
have found a lot of sponsors and it's only april yet. A day before the NY
marathon René (that's his name) will also run the Friendship Run, where you can
find runners in all kinds of outfits. And René, off course, will be there in his
basset-outfit. He´ll be a life-size basset! One of the sponsors
is making his basset- suit right now!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Of course it would be
fantastic to have some Droolers encouraging him at some point of the trail. Or
even to get in touch with other participants?? We have two websites (for the
moment only in Dutch, but perhaps nice to get an idea, and perhaps with some
help of an internet-translation machine). One is the basset rescue site: <A
