Hey I just heard from the city today that we did just shy of $600.00 for the pool event. Not bad for a rainy day event a little less than we hoped for and less than last years hot day. Thats about 300 dogs and owners that took the plunge. With a 50/50 split with the shelter that gave us about 300.00 for the dog Park. This is my favorite picture so far for the pool any ideas for a tag line?........... Here

Ok not the best shots but our booth is in set 1 Rain what Rain) Paws in the Park- page 1 picture #8 and in the second set for the park( Hang Ten) Page 3 Picturtes #49,50,51,52 And yes the pool looked like a Attica riot. None of my dog he came for a while in the morning had pancakes walked around and stayed at the booth but the pool was too busy to have him around.

Here are some pictures from Paws in the Park and Paws in the Pool from last Saturday. I think we raised about $60,000 for the shelter here with both events now in the 10th year. The dogs just love it ,it's the canine social event of the year. Paws in the Park from 8- 12 with a pancake feed starting the day off and hundreds of venders giving away thousands of pounds of treats, tennis balls Frisbees, toys, dog food collars, leashes,safety lights and dog food. Lucca came home with 12 lbs. of treats alone, Bacon bites, Snausages, SnawSomes, Beef and Cheese Sticks, Rawhide Chews, Bacon Strips, and Jerky Strips The bark Park did a booth, the theme was surfs up this year. We dropped about 250 lbs of sand on the lawn and built a surf shop complete with beach. We had the booth of the year, (guess all that attention to detail training finally paid off). We raised in addition about $500.00 for the Dog Park. Following that was Paws in the Pool where the dogs and owners get the pool for two hours to play in. I don't think they got a picture of them lined up at the gate but when the door opened they stormed the pool, it was mass uncontrolled chaos jumping and splashing everywhere. It was lots of work but those happy faces and kisses were worth every bit. You can click the thumbprints to enlarge them and forward through the pictures. There are a few of our booth in the park sets. Paws in the Park More Paws in the Pool

By the way here is something new from Ken McCaw if anyone is interested Here

As I said Sky each fellowship is self governing if the leader of that fellowship decides to rely on and focus his attention on a license agreement only, I would say that was the leaders fault I doubt you would want to be held accountable for someone else's decision and I doubt you could hold a completely different man or organization accountable either for a leaders decisions in another state. Your looking for blame that is not there. It is as independent as each leader wants it to be. It is their choice to apply for licencing or not. Sounds like a independent choice to me? Of course once you do you lose something in the trade, that is no different than any licence with a company,review a Coke licence or a Zerox one sometime everything has it's pro's and con's. If you don't like the choice don't do it ,Pretty simple to me. By the way the agreement is rather strict , not one I would do, but each to their own....That's the thing about independent choice.

The money from Gartmore House would be in the account and control of the Way In Great Britain LTD what the trustees did with it I don't know. As I said Chris was a paid employee with a contract. As I remember he declined to accept the balance of the money for his contract. You could assume anything you like but the demise of Gartmore occurred relatively quickly over a license agreement and a promoted class that people showed up for all around the world and never happened. Until then there was no sinking ship as you put it .

Hey J I don't disagree with your assessment of the group as a whole. My point was that they don't have a Way Tree structure like the Way did. The fellowships run independently, Word promotions is a supply center for materials. Much like CES was in their early days providing tapes,classes,books and so forth. So it is incorrect to say really that someone goes to a Geer fellowship unless they live in Maine and do attend his, Otherwise they go to a local independent fellowship. The one around this area is called Heartland Word Resources. In The Way we ran Way Fellowships at least in the later years they were not stand alone entities with separate directors and bank accounts that's the difference.

35. (But should be number 1) Pigs don't really fly

Pretty close Twinky except Word Promotions was in existence before the close of Gartmore House although it has relocated a couple of times to different addresses for the office it has always been based out of Scotland. Word Promotions holds the licensee agreements and materials for The Walking in God's Power Classes as well as the Gartmore SNS Tapes. Any affiliation would be limited to holding a license to run those classes. There is no fellowship structure setup, although as most people tend to compartmentalize things, you will often hear they are part of Geer's fellowship or Vince's fellowship or ......... It appears that they are in the process of setting up to do business in the states I'd guess to avoid having to ship out of Scotland as they have done in the past and to eliminate travel back and forth.

No, I don't, most people that know me know that I was a Catholic for many years. Till I escaped the bondage and went in for a lifetime of therapy.

Word Promotions Charter

You might want to recheck your facts there twinky I don't think their fellowships collapsed. Gartmore house and The Way in Great Britain may have, at least it is not functioning, but Chris was an employee, It was run by a board of directors of which he was not one. Word Promotions is quite active in Scotland with an office there and just recently one here in the states. They have affiliated fellowships in most of the states I believe. And there are many differences in their teachings and the Way Int.

It's $2.50 in Kansas

Here is the link for Vince's Web Page if anyone would like to see for themselves what he is doing. LHC

It's not uncommon for bands to return to where they started the small clubs and bars sometimes I think they were happier there but the grass is always greener or was that better ? on the other side. You can add our native sons Kansas to Garths list they are on the casino tour these days. Except for Kerry Livgren who you can hear rocking in church around here, and on occasion as a guest with Kansas. His new project the ones who did not make the cut for Kansas........ Kansas

Lifted Up is quite right they did not, nor did I think that they did or for that matter do I recall them claiming to have. HELLO !!! Book of Acts.... And neither is this the reason for avoiding church...... I have no fear of churches, as I said before I on occasion attend some, obviously one can not know everything about a church from one attendance, but you can generally get an idea about where they are concerning the Bible. One of the main things I look for is spiritual understanding, I'm not interested in someone's best guess, nor am I interested in spending time hearing things I know to be not true. I would not go to a school that taught wrong information in their classes either so why would I want to go to a church that does? Nothing makes my skin crawl faster than the I'm stoned out on JESUS repetitive trance music either, I'm late for the door. I also don't go there to hear about some persons new book on how he thinks we should live our life while paying him millions so he can live his the way he wants to, in luxury I might add. How dumb is that? There are some things like that in life once you learn them, you don't need to question them when someone thinks different. Likewise I know who Jesus is and who God is and I took a bath this morning don't need another but thanks anyway. My dog and grandmother are not floating around in the sky either. And thank you but I am aware of my short comings I don't need to be kept dwelling on them I'd rather be reminded that I am forgiven and can do better. So you see what's the point of going and sitting where the truth is not spoken, a Singles club? Pass, or maybe chicken dinner? Now I'll admit some of those ladies make a mean chicken dinner, but even that is not worth the price paid for "fowl doctrine"........

:blink: :) Lucky husband!!!!! I've been a bad Bird........

No it is the church..... I don't go to church because I attended churches and groups before getting involved in The Way and there was nothing there. Home based fellowships offered something that was never in churches which was why I became involved with The Way. I wanted an understanding of the Bible and a relationship with God. Found both it works why would I want to go back to something that didn't? Yes I have been to a few lately, still the same,social sermons and whatever the new purpose driven book of the month is. No thanks

Dang I guess I missed the bondage, I missed all the cool stuff. Got Ropes?

It might have been the bottle of Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Rum...... But the coffee works for that too thanks.......
