Thanks in advance Tony.
I have attended number of koi shows in the last few years; seeing vendors, dealers, and clubs were there for their ads as well as promotion their products. I am thinking about having hard copy of KHV Research Project and KHV Information Flyers at the show too. This may help to bring KHV info to general public and possible to get some fund too.
Since I can't attend the coming Koikichi Koi Show, can you or any other KB members bring hard copies of the flyer down to the Koikichi show for us.
If it is OK, i will make hard copies tomorrow.
Please note that Nancy already agree to place it on information table during the koikichi show.
Regards,

Here is the KHV flyer:

AKCA KHV Research Project Information & Support Funding AKCA - PROJECT KHV OVERVIEW:There continues to be a growing and well deserved concern about Koi Herpes Virus (KHV). The Associated Koi Clubs of America (AKCA) has a history of significant funding for developing technologies and initiatives to promote koi health. KHV research grants are currently being funded and additional research projects are being. The AKCA - Koi Health Advisor program is in full operation. AKCA has committed funds in excess of $150,000 to Koi Health initiatives that include specific KHV projects. But much more needs to be done to help protect our living jewels. You can find much more information about this project athttp://www.texaskoi.com/akcaprojectkhv/index.htm AKCA - PROJECT KHV OBJECTIVES:Raise funding for targeted and peer reviewed KHV research projects to develop new technologies directly related to short term control and longer term eradication of KHV. Potential areas of research that may be funded are: Developing and/or testing an effective KHV vaccine, potential preventatives, more accurate and available tests for KHV, and recommendations to appropriately deal with KHV exposed and/or KHV recovered koi. HOW CAN YOU HELP: Please make a donation! There are many worthwhile causes that deserve our financial support. However it is solely up to us as koi lovers, organizations, and professionals to protect the special beauty and serenity that koi provide. We realize that the amount of donations will vary. KHV research will require a significant amount of on-going funding. We appreciate any size donation. We have been asked for donation amount suggestions so here they are: 1) Individual/family TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation. Please consider making a $ donation based on the number of koi in your collection. Individual/family donations we hope will average about $50. 2) Help us by becoming a advocate of this project with your respective koi/pond clubs. Club donations will hopefully average about $1,000. Individual club membership vary from less than twenty members to over a 1,000. Some clubs have many events and opportunities to increase their club's fund raising ability. Other club's maybe newer or not have much of a club treasury. We have a section on the AKCA PROJECT KHV website to assist with fund raising suggestions. Hopefully, you will benefit from these idea's and be willing to donate whatever your club can afford. 3) Help us by asking your local koi/pond dealer to make a corporate or professional donation. If you are a koi/pond professional you are a very important part of our plans. We are hoping that professional donations will hopefully average about $1,500. We are also looking to partner with a few special corporations that are willing to make substantial donation commitments and become a major sponsor of our project.
