Please read the email below. At the National Specialty there is a silent auction fundraiser each year to raise money for the Newfoundland Health Challenge. The chair, Mary Jane Spackman has come up with a good idea – get each Regional Club to donate 4 items that are representative of their region to be part of this auction. Does anyone have any ideas/something to volunteer or donate? Richard and Sandy Donnay generally go to the show every year, so they should be able to transport things to get to the auction on time.

As such, I would like to make a "West Coast" and beyond request. Would each of the clubs you are members of and/or represent consider hosting the NHC Silent Auction on Thursday at this year's National? This is the single opportunity allowed to the NHC each year to raise funds other than through donations. Before the collective sigh, due to location, I am not asking for volunteers or to manage any of the details to run the auction on Thursday, instead I am asking that each club consider donating four items for this Ringside Silent Auction. Over time I have learned the items that typically attract a higher bid are the ones that are unique. Your locations alone make this an easier achievement for any donation you may chose to send. In my opinion, the bottom line is that we are all in this for one reason- the Newfoundland and for this breed to continue forward; we need to continue to invest in the health of the Breed. Please let me know if this is a possibility within each of your clubs for this ringside auction request. You may contact me via my email address above or call me at 717-802-2873. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. All the best, Mary Jane Spackman
