Race For Adoption involves purses earned by active racing greyhounds being donated to the program by their owners. Funding was also derived through donations in the form of shares for these designated runners. Seven greyhounds currently racing at Wheeling (WV), Derby Lane (FL), Jacksonville (FL) and Southland (AR) are the Race For Adoption contingent. Five of the participating runners have been donated by a single owner, Larry Birnbaum.Greyhound Racing Association of America (GRA) has become involved with the Race For Adoption group in an effort to promote and dramatically expand the program."This visionary group of just a few individuals have shown us all what is possible," said Kip Keefer, President of GRA. " It's time for everyone to follow this magnificent example and get on board with this program.
With a single dog from each kennel racing for adoption the potential proceeds that can be generated for greyhound placement is astounding."The GRA plans to seek the participation of greyhound and kennel owners to volunteer 50% of a designated greyhound's purses. Major greyhound tracks will also be approached seeking help in enlisting the participation of all contract kennels and greyhound owners. Proceeds derived from the program could potentially lead to far greater funding of existing programs, formation of new chapters and transportation and logistical support.Keefer and the GRA believe that the program is the key to realizing a desire held by everyone involved in the modern day racing industry and adoption community, 100% placement of all adoptable greyhounds."It's been said that the progress of greyhound adoption, through the collective efforts of so many dedicated people, is perhaps the greatest success story in modern animal welfare. With wide ranging participation in Race For Adoption, the final, conclusive chapter could be written."Website: http://www.raceforadoption.com.
Purses
Women around the world consider a purse as a necessity. A purse has a lot more significance and importance than its function, which is carrying money and other items around in it. It is used as a fashion accessory and speaks volumes about the personality of the person carrying it.
In simple terms, a purse is a small and fashionably designed bag, used to hold money, keys, makeup and other items of daily use. Purses are also popularly known as handbags, although some argue that a handbag is larger in size. Purses evolved several centuries ago, and ever since, have been an essential fashion accessory.
The first purses can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, who used small pouches during religious ceremonies. Later, in the 14th century, purses were fastened to the waist with the help of girdles. During those days, purses were used as status symbols and were adorned with jewels and elaborate embroidery.
Through the 16th and 17th century,...
The Coach Purse, the Better Purse
Before getting my first Coach purse a few years ago I would use nothing but cheap bags I found at discount department stores. When I decided to finally splurge on something better it was only because I was going to be at a formal event and needed something that was practical but still looked classy. The Coach purse that I bought was stylish and went well with the dress I was wearing and in the end it all made me look and feel great.
Once I used my Coach purse that night I began looking for other excuses to take it out with me because it got so many compliments. Eventually I began taking it with me everywhere sometimes even dressing up to match the accessory instead of the other way around. Not only was the purse as good as any other in terms of being roomy easy to organize but I found that it outlasted any other handbag I ever owned.
In the past I would replace my handbags all the...
