Thanks everyone.  So far we have a healthy eater and good sleeper.  She is 
still nocturnal though...

Maybe a link?  Post bask if link is down.

Eric:
Thank you for the encouragement for the Award Programs.  I really like the 
Portland program with the understanding that materials are donated and the 
meetings run long.  I am hoping for ~10-20 lots with few enough bidders that 
the whole thing can be kept track on a piece of paper.  I might be over my head 
on that though.  Still, I am willing to give it a try.

Would anyone like to help auction any fish that show up?

Steve:

I forgot to include the name (person) on the clip out form.  See below
