| An update for everyone on Lee's project to raise money for the KHV research project.......
I have received checks and orders for many pins from some of the posters on this board. A couple weeks ago I sent Steve Eckard five pins he ordered, which will create a $50.00 donation to help KHV research. He sent me this email:
Hi Dale,
I just received the pins yesterday. They look even better in person.
Thank you to both you and Lee for making these pins possible. Plus another bonus of being counted as a member of the Cayman Islands Koi Club. I swear it don't get no better than this hobby.

I've received orders and checks for as few as two pins up to a high of 15 pins ordered by Roger Hand in England. Oddly enough, no one has ordered just one pin. Seems everyone wants to have one for themselves and a few more for gifts.
Thank you to many of the Koi Bito regulars who have purchased pins. I have sold or mailed out Cayman Island Koi Club pins to Burt Ballou, Russell Peters, Jim North, Mike Pfeffer, Larry Gill, Randy Fischer, Martin Douthitt, and many others. Bryan and Bay Bateman purchased 10 pins in order to have several extra to give as Christmas gifts. Why, bless my soul, even the hard nosed, penny pinching Steve Childers purchased some pins and became an honorary off shore member of the Cayman Island Koi Club.
How about you? Do you have your Cayman Island Koi Club pins yet? Lee's offer is still open!
