| Hey, Russ' very nice gesture!
Dear Russ,
I understand you've ordered two of the Cayman Island Koi Club Pins from Dale. Russ, that's really very generous of you. And, I wanted to personally thank you...for your contribution.
My friend I don't know how many pins we eventually will sell or how much money we will raise by the sale of our pins for KHV research as I know millions of dollars is what really is needed to find the cure; however, I also know that at least each of us are making a personal impact and I think that's just terrific.
Thus, you certainly can wear your Cayman Island Koi Club pin with great pride.
As Dale said at the Chicago Show banquet...becoming a member of the Cayman Island Koi Club can be somewhat difficult, as to become a member all you need to do - is to want to become a member!
It must have been rather funny - when he made his speach, as everyone laughed!
However, I know losing a fish to KHV can't be funny. As it's not a laughing matter. Thus, please spread the word to everyone you know out on the West Coast as we can always use more honorary members in our local club - and, KHV research which these pin sales are going towards may one day even save one of your own fish!
If it does, you will know, you helped save not only your own fish, but thousands and thousand others...
Therefore, please - please, spread the word!
And, help us sell lots more Cayman Island Koi Club pins.
With my best personal regards,
Your pal
