About the letter. Exactly to whom is it to be sent? You need to identify your audience before writing anything that will get someone's attention. Wasn't the idea to form a committee to do this? Sure a committee will take a day or two to form but it at least will have a base and structure to work with. I don't want to be a wet blanket but you need to look before you leap into something this big.
For instance we need a title or name for this event to keep the purpose for having it in front of us-to keep us on the proper track. Cavalier Connection? Cavalier E-list Picnic? If we don't do this right we may forever screw things up that could have been fixed. That said, I propose we take out any reference to the old issues and keep it light and happy by saying our purpose is only to enjoy being with our dogs and other Cavalier lovers. Period. Mentioning the old issues and a friendly atmosphere makes me feel uneasy and question whether I would want to go with that lurking in the back of minds. Kinda like when someone asks you to trust you. Instantly you don't. Lastly I can't imagine many people signing up to attend or support something with no date or place tentatively at least mentioned. Let's put the horse back in front of the cart. Let's nominate a committee to get this rolling in the right direction. First they need to at least tentatively choose a realistic date then a place or perhaps if it is a great place like St. Louis we need to work backwards and see when we can use their facilities and work from there. Then the committee can see what support they have via a letter. Just my opinion.
