Are You Still Saving Your Coins?

[The Outlaw]

Just wanted to remind everyone here that you should be saving your coins for the Stop PDD Campaign we started in January. Birdboard and ********** have both initiated a campaign whereby members are encouraged to save their coins and send a check to the Avian Health Network. They depend on contributions to fund Dr. Branson Ritchie's research team at the University of Georgia Veterinary College. There, a group of scientists are doing tests and observations to ultimately find the cause and hopefully cure for PDD. This is the same group that found the cause of PBFD and developed the vaccine. They know what they are doing.

I keep 3 recepticles handy: a jar on my dryer to put laundry change in, an old prescription bottle in my purse to save quarters in and another jar in my office for whatever change I find around the house or in the bottom of my purse. Its amazing how much change I have! Also, I redeem grocery coupons and add that money to my jar. I figure I'll roll the coins and for every $10 I find, I'll purchase a chance on the quilt that is being raffled off in September at The Bird Heard's fundraiser/barbeque. Dr. Ritchie will be there to draw the ticket and educate us once again about the fight against PDD. He's the most fascinating man I know and I'm honored to have met him in the past. I think he may even be stopping by my home when he's in town. I'm so excited!

So, Peeps, do your part. Save those coins and donate them to the best cause of all: help fund Dr. Ritchie. Make your checks payable to the Avian Health Network. Your money will be added to others and presented to Dr. Ritchie for research. For more information, please go to:
