Thank you for bringing a fun filled day of ferret talk, laughter and friendship to Niagara Falls. I was honoured to meet people from the F.M.L. that I have admired for their commitment and compassion for our furkids like Alicia Drakiotes and Julia Fossa and many more. Brenda Johnson spoke about alternatives to shelters. She gave me many good ideas on fund raising and helping my shelters. Alicia's presentation inspired me to look in into our local laws regarding pet stores and how to develop a presentation based on logic rather than emotions The food was great, the friendship even better! I am really happy to have spent the day with friends I made through the FML and finally met. Also to have made new friends through this Mini Forum. I have addy's of people in a 50 mile radius that may come together and start a club and eventually lead to a shelter. I also have addy's of people I just liked a lot...LOL...and hopefully will meet again. Unfortunately a few people were absent because of medical problems. I wish you well and I am so sorry I missed meeting you. Thank you, Lynda Galloway....eh! [Posted in FML issue 3915]
