Recently, I learned that a true sportsman, a dogman, had troubles. His young son had been airlifted to UNM, sometime between Christmas and New Years, with a sinus infection gone bad. The good news is that just this morning, we learned that his boy will soon be going home. However, he & his wife are left with some pretty hefty medical bills and people in the dog community are banding together to help them out.
There are several fund raisers being held. One fundraiser is raffling off a lovely, handmade quilt done in shades of blue & grey. In the corners are patches with saluki on them. This would be a fantastic item for any saluki enthusiast! Another fundraiser is being held by Shot On Site photography. You can read more about that one on the Hare Brained Express Tour blog. Another way to help would be to visit High-Lonesome Books, which is owned by the sportsman, Dutch Salmon. There are some pretty interesting books there, a couple of which I intend to purchase!
Here are the details on the quilt raffle. I'm sorry, I do not have a picture of the the quilt, but I have seen it, and it's very nice, and, as previously stated, perfect for a Saluki owner.
"Cindy Brown has donated a 52 inch quilt in shades of blue and gray with Saluki heads in the corners, to be raffled off and all the proceeds will go to Dutch and his family. Cindy will bring the quilt and tickets to the hunt on January 17th . The tickets will be $10 each or 3 for $25.00. SWCC will offer tickets via the USPS. Send your check, made payable to SWCC to the treasurer Bill Brown, PO Drawer 29, Mesquite, NM88048. Sorry no paypal. The tickets will be returned to you and the drawing will take place at the Dutch’s Pack Hunt on February 14th .Checks will be taken up until the day of the drawing and tickets given out. If you are sending a check by mail, it must be postmarked by February 5th, so we have time to get the tickets back to you. If you are not present at the drawing, the quilt will be mailed to you. Watch for the announcement on the lists, where we have posted information."
