In April? of 2004, Scott, you went to Petland or something. I sent you TAGs 
for the event 03/22/04.

So the date here would be the convention date, and each issue of TAG's
date. If they *really* won't accept "ongoing," then I suppose we could
print out the entire AGA-member archives and mail it in! Serve them right.

Again, if they won't accept "three times per week," perhaps Erik could 
generate a nice LOOOOOONG report from the database, showing its activity in 
2004.

I have an e-mail from Phil dated 01/11/2004 which was the basis for this. 
Serious work in April of 2004. I sent information on 07/28 to 
SFBAAP...whatever. I sent information to 11 other clubs on 09/02/04.

> > We published an informational brochure. 

Motion carried 02/19/04. I picked them up from the printers on 03/18/04. 
Some were shipped to you and Karen at NEC that day.

04/29 Bought t-shirts. 05/12 Mailed them to Ann. T-shirts were available on 
05/15/04 on the web site. Do you want to know how many we've given away?

Membership Drive 05/01/2004 thru 08/31/2004. Got 29 new members, and the 
"winner" got a free t-shirt. We sent him 25 free TAGs on 06/26/04 because 
he is a business owner who used his business to promote our organization. 
We still have a standing offer...

09/04 created a flyer for David Lass to pass out at the NexPet meeting 
about our Pet Store Program. Indicated some interest, but seems to have 
petered out. On my "list." :-)

Still looking...
