Dear Gary,
I should have known that you would pipe up on this question of a mascot
plush animal for the club as a logo.
I'm well aware of the fact, that you just recently have become an expert
in the field of stuffed toys. Congratulations from all of us.
I therefore, as always, trust your judgment, and I whole heartedly agree
on the choice of the little fellow Phoenix for the NASS logo.
It would be an honour, to appoint the little dragon as a representative
of our respective club.
Our friend Kristi has kindly offered her services to design and
fabricate the little rascal.
So, I therefore second the motion for the record. Let's hear it from the
rest of the club.
And, in a moment of creative inspiration, I would also recommend, that
we sew up some kind of a costume, stick NASS member Gary into it, and
have him lead the parade down main street in Ohio.
What do you day, brother Gary, is this a great idea????
Are you game?
This is a dare!
As always
Your LBC sister
Liv
PS Don't you just LOVE having me as a friend........
