[Artemisia] Help needed!

[Holly Howarth]

Greetings!  I am in need of some help...

First:  As many of you know, I will soon have surgery on my spine.  This 
means that I won't be able to attend as many events this year as I would 
like, and when I do, I won't be able to be as active as usual...I am in 
desperate need of a deputy!  As deputy to the Regent of Hounds, you would be 
responsible for helping set up and "referee" any Hounds activities, 
including: lure coursing, teaching the populace about the proper etiquette 
for bringing dogs to events, organizing fundraisers, etc.  This is not the 
most strenuous of jobs, and one that has the potential of being quite 
enjoyable.  As my surgery will be soon, and the camping (i.e. dog) season is 
upon us, I need a deputy as soon as possible!

Second:  We are looking for some lure coursing equipment!  For any of you 
who have seen/participated in this, the dogs love it, the children love it, 
and the parents love the way the children sleep afterwards!  To my 
knowledge, there are only two companies in the U.S. who make this equipment 
(injoy-1.com and maplecreekracing.com), therefore they can price things as 
they please.  I have had some interest in trying to make coursing equipment 
instead of buying it...if you're willing and able, let me know your 
approximate pricing etc.  (Please check out the websites mentioned for 
specs.)  Also, we would be very interested if anyone knows of someone who is 
willing to sell their old equipment, or who can get it at a reduced price.  
The sooner we can get the equipment, the more time we have to enjoy it!

Thank you!
