It's time to organize and group our efforts. I need groups willing to participate in F.O.C.U.S. (Ferret Organizations Coalition of the United States). Working as individuals may not be very productive, we must band together. I suggest we form a group with clubs across the US through e-mail. An idea for official letterhead logo is the United States map with a ferret in it (I can create this through WP if acceptable to all in the organization or perhaps someone else has a better idea). This group can be used as a "problem solving" committee and brainstorm together. All correspondence will be cc'd to each individual organization. This organization as a whole can work on problems in any state. Individuals also are welcome to participate. This will be a "working" group and may be time consuming when we are working on specific problems. Anyone interested in participating please e-mail me privately at [log in to unmask] for more information. This group is being formed for the benefit of all ferrets everywhere. We need individuals and organizations that are committed to domestic ferrets. Hugs to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 1179]
