Please let me know. > Jennifer ______________ Hi, Thanks for the reply; it's all year--it's just coinciding with PD awareness, but talk to Bill Turenne at the 1-888 number I gave (it's not in front of me right now.) Bill's great, he'll explain everything. Tourist season sounds great!! Good luck! Ann Just wanted to send this to the list as I have finally awakened to the fact that there is something I can do to help. I spoke with Bill Turenne today and he is sending me the stuff to put out collection containers. Here in the Smoky Mountains we have upwards to three million visitors a year. My husband and I know many store and restaurant owners personally who I am sure will be happy to help. We also have a new Harrah's casino. I realize that no one there will put money in the containers since they are so busy putting money into machines, but I will put the arm on Harrahs to perhaps make a donation. Anyway, I feel this has given me a real lift to find a way to participate since I see so many dedicated and actively involved folks on the list and I have sat here reading about it and doing nothing. Wish me luck and I hope my efforts will be sucessful and help the good cause! Jennifer
