<div dir="ltr">I was debating doing the calendar again this year, because interest has not been what it has been in the past. I did a poll on the two Facebook versions of the Drool, however, and there was a fair amount of interest from people who are new to that forum. So I am going to give it a go again this year.<div>
<br></div><div>All of the information is below. Also, if you would like to be an "angel" and pay for a date and/or calendar for someone who would like to participate but can't please let me know. And if you need an angel this year please go ahead and sign up for a date and just indicate that you need help. Laura</div>

Calendar Information </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:black">Information for Newbies:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:black">The Daily Drool calendar is a longstanding tradition among those of us
who started on the email listserve. It
is an old-fashioned page a day calendar.
You can purchase a day for $10.00 which will feature a picture of your
basset(s)’ a caption of your choosing.
Buying a day commits you to buying one calendar insert, which is $29.50
including shipping and handling in the US and $38.50 outside of the US. You may also wish to purchase an acrylic
stand to hold the pages for $15.00.
These can be used year after year.
All proceeds after costs go to basset rescue.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:black">For the sake of fairness, I open sign-ups at a particular date and
time. Any requests received prior to
that time will be deleted and you will have to resubmit (I will tell you if
you’re too early). This makes it fair
for the “popular” dates. I limit
sign-ups to one date at first. Once
everyone who wants one has gotten a first date I then randomly pull names for
second dates and possibly third depending on interest. You do NOT have to buy another calendar for a
second or third date (but I would be happy to sell you more than one!) Once
upon a time there was a waiting list for first dates, but interest has declined
over the years.<b></b></span></p>

will send you a Paypal invoice for the $10.00 sign-up fee. Failure to pay the $10.00

although my husband retired this year and has promised me a few hours a day of
help so I’m hoping it will go faster.
You’ll get an automatic email acknowledging receipt of your date request
when you send it so you know it hasn’t gone off into cyberspace. Please be patient with me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:black">I strongly prefer that everyone use Paypal. I
have no ability to accept credit cards. I will accept personal checks, but they
will be a lot of work for me, so if you can use Paypal please do.</span></p>

calendar g-mail site at noon. You will fall in with everyone else in priority.
There is no way to get an "edge” by asking me to submit on your behalf - I
am simply offering to do so because I realize sign-ups are in the heart of
vacation time and I want to be as helpful as I can.</span></p>
