I thought this got posted, but apparently my computer failed me.

It's really late notice, but if you are a Thoroughbred stallion owner or know
someone who is, it might not be too late to donate your stallion's season to the
cause. We're probably going to need it more than ever, after Rita. Please read
below and then give Lisa Dworkin a call at 352-793-3366 or email her at
IrishHillsFarm@....

The auction takes place at www.Starqine.com next Monday thru Wednesday noon,
only. Currently, my horse is the only one representing AZ and I'd like to see
us contribute more of our nice stallions, if we can. One phone call pretty much
takes care of it and you're in. It's no cost to you, it's free internet
advertising for your stallion, someone gets a breeding to your horse who might
not otherwise have done so, and the money raised will go to helping others in
some real need of help. Everyone wins and you can't get a better deal than
that.

Respectfully,
Vikki Burnham
