<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">I have been told that I
painted a picture of Helena Poist that was bad by my earlier post so I just want
to aplogise. Helena and I do things different and because of that we have
mutually dissasociated ourselves. I just wanted to say just in case people were
wondering if she was associated with Western Missouri Basset Rescue that she is
not. I did not mean to imply she was doing something wrong just that we have
different ways in which we rescue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">She helped us immensely in
the past when we were first starting out and we in turn helped her. She helped
us win votes in the Pepsi Challenge, she has helped rescues win over $1000000.00
in money by writing grants for them and soliciting votes for them and our rescue
benefitted by possibly winning $5000.00 in the last Pepsi Challenge when she saw
that I had entered the Pepsi Challenge by writing a grant for Western Missouri
Basset Rescue she invited us to be grouped in with the other rescues that she
wrote grants for. She should be proud, and I am sure she is. I would be if I
could do that so if anyone thinks I dissed her I apologise. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">I did not think Jesse's
post was bad it was just factual I did not think my post was bad either just
factual but some thought it implied Helena had done something wrong and for that
I am sorry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">I also apologise to Jesse
in adding in on her post. I was no trying to be
dramatic.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
