A few Comments
I was so sad that I was not able to be present for
Saturday.
I am so proud of my students. Zadia [Lugo, Division II winner] always works so
hard on her art work and has never been a winner. She was so excited. One of my
Mexican students family got lost even with the map I gave them Thursday morning.
She was so sad she missed it. Another student who was present named Adam
________ told me today in class that his dad had not been proud of him for a
long time and that this event made him feel so good. He had an HM prize. You see
how exceptional your contest is to my students.
You all always do such a wonderful job. Thank you

Dear Lucy:
Your
presentation of the winners of the 2011-2012 Bird Dog Foundation
Sporting Dog Student Art Contest was the best. It is obvious you worked
hard on all the details that were so effectively demonstrated during the
presentation.
The contest is a witness that it's a vital function of the Bird Dog
Foundation's mission. It makes the Internal Revenue para 501 (c) (3) look
better and better as a true education justification for the Bird Dog
Foundation.
If my count is close to correct there were some 165 people present for the
presentation.
Great job on your part! Keep up the good work! The most ever! Thanks for
your devoted effort.
Sincerely,
Gary Lockee
A Bird Dog Foundation Founder and
Originator of the Bird Dog Foundation Art Contest
