"creek" should be capitalized because its first usage refered to the Creek Indian Nation and a possible insurrection.

Debatable at best.

As we did last year, in an effort to help a very worthwhile cause, Ryan and I have chosen Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (https://www.wtarescue.com/) as a charity to support, in connection with our trade day/get together.

The mission of this organization is to rescue high-risk dogs and cats, mainly from Mississippi, where young animals are euthanized by the hundreds every day. Since 2015, WTAR has successfully rescued over 12,000 dogs and cats, and transported them to the DC area. After being bathed, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered, they are placed in foster homes until they find their forever homes through local adoption events. The transport of animals from Mississippi occurs on a nearly weekly basis. My family adopted our dog Bo (photos below) through WTAR, and donate to them frequently.

Our get together is free to attend, however, voluntary donations will be accepted at the event, with all proceeds going directly to WTAR, which is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization (EIN: 47-5126237).

I would encourage you all, whether attending our event or not, to donate to this very worthwhile cause. For those of you who prefer to donate directly to WTAR, that can be done easily through their website.

Just went on their site. What a wonderful organization! Saving lives by the hundreds. This event combines two of my passions, dogs and vintage cards. What more could I ask for?

We just finalized the details. Lunch will be served from 12pm - 2pm+. It will be a BBQ buffet that includes- Slow Smoked Chicken Breast, Cajun BBQ Glaze Smoked Pulled BBQ Pork, Bacon Mustard Potato Salad, Macaroni and Cheese, Fresh Baked Brownies and Cookies. We will also have a "limited" open bar, which means we have prepaid for a certain amount of alcohol (beer, wine and spirits) and they are free until we use the prepaid amount. Soft drinks will be provided. This is all free. No admission cost, no cost to set up, no cost for food. That said, per post #72, voluntary donations will be accepted at the event, with all proceeds going directly to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, which is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization (EIN: 47-5126237).


Last year a bunch of people went out to dinner the after the event. I cannot do that this year, but comradery is encouraged. My only request is that you post pictures of any post-show dinner/event
