Sonoma Puppy raffle - not a good thing
Our local NBC news just reported on the Sonoma Valley Harvest Auction held today. They specifically reported that a golden retreiver puppy was auctioned and brought $2800 - a good thing. I know we have had some very elegant letter writers before on the topic so if anyone is interested in communicating with the parties to this auction they are The Sonoma Valley Wine HArvest Auction, the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn where the auction was held, and NBC news San Francisco who thinks this is a good thing.

There may be more out there.By the way, when is the next raffle? Does BARC need some help in paying for those puppies they just rescued? Let us know how we can help. Peace, Linda Seaver Belline in Bedford, NY

Re: Raffle/check as payment
Dearest List, About check´s as payment. In Sweden nobody use check´s any more - we use card´s or cash. My monthly salary goes directly to the card. Cheques are indeed obsolete here in Sweden and have been for many years. Thank you, Margareta for bringing this up, I too have been wondering as to what other payment alternatives there might be for contributing to the different fundraisers. Just now I am on bread and water for the next couple months after picking up Griffin meds the other day, so I will have to wait for the next one. (No worries, I needed to go on a spring diet.)

Specialty Raffle/Auction
Have you taken a look at the BMDCC raffle and silent auction items recently? Check out the original Specialty 2003 Commemorative Painting or the one of kind Bernese dog bowl. Many new items have been added to these sites since they were first posted on berner-l thanks to the generous support of friends and neighbours. You can see these lovely items on the website for the May 2003 BMDCC and BMDCO combined specialty show to be held in Ottawa at: http://members.rogers.com/bmdspecialty2003/bmdcc_fund_raiser.htm for raffle items and http://members.rogers.com/bmdspecialty2003/silent.htm for auctions items.

Ang: Raffle/check as payment
About check´s as payment. In Sweden nobody use check´s any more - we use card´s or cash. My monthly salary goes directly to the card. I asked the bank for a check to the Raffle, it would cost around 28 US dollar to buy a check at the bank to send to the USA. Margareta Strand Stockholm
Histio raffle
Joye, put me down for $60 and split the tickets between the two paintings. Thank you for these reminders on the L--sometimes I forget and I know this raffle won't be running too much longer! Vicky Hall in Utah By the way, could the raffle in Long Beach use one of those Sam's club Berner plush costumes, sized for children age 2-4? Let me know and I will pack it with me!

Re: 2003 raffle question and upcoming fundraisers.....
Hi Susan, Hey Pat and Joye, will Berner folks not actually at the 2003 specialty have a chance to bid on some of the special raffle items and if sowhen do you think we can see them. I have a need to spend money * Although we will be posting some photos of the items for the 2003 Specialty Raffle on the Specalty website soon, the actual raffle will only take place at the Specialty and not on line. We do not ship items from the Specialty Raffle and the people who are there bring their items back with them. Last year, any items not claimed were donated to the fundraisers on the berner-l that I do. Of couse if you have a hankering to spend some money to support our berner causes and would like to try to win some very nice items at the same time, I'll be happy to tell you about the upcoming fundraisers on the berner-l that are open to all people, both on and off the L and their friends. I will be 'launching' a fundraiser on Tuesday. February 25th with two more of Willem's beautiful painings to raise money to fight malignant histiocytosis. Jean Cheesman is doing a tribute page to those Berners who lost the fight to malignant histiocytosis. If you have a berner who was diagnosed and died of the terrible cancer, please send a photo of your special Berner to Jean and give her some information for her website. We have some lovely tributes already but would like to honor all those berners on Jean's site. Here is her address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] After the Specialty, I will be doing the Fourth Annual Berner-Garde Fundraiser and I already have many lovely berner items for this fundraiser. Remember, I am still collecting items for the Specialty Raffle!!! Looking forward to raising a LOT of money to help our Berners in the months to comeso save your loose change and put aside some dollars so you can buy lots of tickets!!! Joye Neff 2003 Specialty Co-Chair with Pat Long Berner-l Fundraiser!

Berner Raffle Baskets
I'm probably not the only one on the List who'd like to learn more about putting together a basket for the basket raffle. So - how do I do it? Who do I contact? Does anyone have any tips? I've been scheming and thinking and looking for things to contribute (and I've found some pretty cute/unique items!). Catherine Young Madison WI Shadow, Mickey Jenny

Re: BMDCA Lobby Raffle
Oh, Auntie Laurie; My mom has been a real slacker on sending in her check to the BMDCA Lobby Raffle. I was having a hard time figuring out how to write out a check to send. My paws are too big to hold a pen, and when I hold it in my mouth, I just want to CHEW it! But guess what!!! I just figured out how to write checks on the computer from my Dad's business account! It's so much fun to step on the keys and make checks! I'll carry it to the postoffice tomorrow, myself, I promise. After all, we Berners owe a lot to everyone who is out there making the world a better place for all of us dogs. Don't we?

BARC LOC Challenge Raffle NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!!
A belated Happy New Year to everyone - may 2003 only hold good things for you and your Berners. I want to remind everyone that you can still make a donation to the BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser. We have 83 super Berner items that you can try to win. If you haven't seen them, then you need to go to the web site that Karen Pickel made for us and check them out: http://www.overthefence.com/raffle/BARC/ I know that once you see the fantastic prizes for this fundraiser that you will want to run to your checkbook to send in a donation to BARC and/or LOC. This is a terrific way to make a donation to two tremendous organizations and at the same time have a chance to win some very nice Berner items. This is a Challenge Fundraiser - we are trying to raise a lot of money for BARC and LOC and the challenge is to see which group can raise the most money. So far, we have raised a total of $2,192.69. BARC has raised $1,173.69 and LOC has raised $1,019.00. Come on you folks who support LOC - we need to catch up with that BARC amount.I'd like to see this fundraiser end with a lot of money for both organizations and a Tie would be fine as far as I'm concerned. There are only sixteen days left for this fundraiser and I'd like to see us raise at least $4,000. We can do it, but we everyone to participate - it will give us all a warm puppy dog feeling to help these two groups. Go hug your Bernersthen go write a check!! Joye Neff (Samantha and Ben) Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA
