<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div><div>Ann, I don't have my lists in front of me but my best guesstimate is that we have a total of about 85 doing the clues, no clues and mini secret pawtner. This is the smallest group we've had since I've been organizing the exchange, I think mostly due to the economy. Sometimes people drop out because the person who had their name didn't put any effort into their package or they got their package late - this does take the fun out of participating. And we sometimes have someone who just doesn't even send a package. Of course those people are given notice that they are not allowed to play ever again. I think we've weeded out a lot of people that really weren't good for the exchange - besides the people who were more interested in what THEY got than what they gave their pawtner, we had a few folks who were amazingly childish or downright rude when there was no call for it. Thankfully, those folks are gone now, too.</div><div><br></div><div>I think the people participating this year are the Droolers who truly enjoy secret pawtner and get great satisfaction in sending a thoughtful package to their pawtner. We do have several new pawtners this year which I think is great and we seem to be off to a good start. Please email me at <a href="mailto:dlindy@mac.com">dlindy@mac.com</a> with any questions or concerns. Keep those clues coming and have fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Donna</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Aug 8, 2012, at 9:33 PM, Ann Hefner <<a href="mailto:anniebh@acsol.net">anniebh@acsol.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>The DAILY DROOL Secret Pawtner Exchange</span><br><span></span><br><span>------------------------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span> ----</span><br><span> / \__</span><br><span>|\ / @ \</span><br><span>\ \_______| \ .: O</span><br><span> \ ##| | \__/</span><br><span> | ####\__/ \</span><br><span> / / ## \|</span><br><span> / /__________\ \</span><br><span> L_JJ \__JJ</span><br><span>-----------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>Sign-ups July 27 - August 2nd, 2012</span><br><span></span><br><span>Names out by August 8th, 2012</span><br><span></span><br><span>Mailing deadline August 24th, 2012</span><br><span></span><br><span>Archives:</span><br><span><a href="http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/secretpawtner-dailydrool.org/">http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/secretpawtner-dailydrool.org/</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>Questions?</span><br><span>Contact Donna: <a href="mailto:dwlindy@comcast.net">dwlindy@comcast.net</a></span><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div>
