HI all- I wanted to share a story with you-- and let you know why- I am going to the Forum at the Falls. It could be for a number of reasons: 1) I have never seen the Falls - and love to study nature 2) I have shelter hospice kids almost in the area 3) A day or two of relaxation might not be bad for someone working 24/7 in a shelter setting 4) I have information to share with folks that I am hoping will help ferrets 5) I am looking forward to meeting folks that I have met thus far only by email! It could be any one of those points-- BUT it is for ALL of the the above reasons I am going to be at the Forum at the Falls on Sat September 21, 2002. You might say oh sure you are going- you are a speaker- yes indeed I want to help folks get started in their home states helping to better all protection laws for ferrets -- BUT rest assured this speaking engagement is a gratus engagement - an opportunity for me to help - NOT to make money off the ferret community. That is why the folks are able to keep the fees at a reasonable cost to us all. SO - who will I be meeting at Forum at the Falls? I sure hope it is you.
