Hi -
Could you please give this an 'Internet push' thought your network of rescuers and bulldog folks...
Myself, and couple others are going to undertake making a calendar for "2010" - Brown Trout does an amazing job with professional 'bulldogs' and their handlers - These folks collect a lot (and I mean a lot of money) from bulldog fans and not much of it comes to rescue. Bulldogs World does several of good calendars as a nice side project for them too, I recall those proceeds go to rescue too.
We would like this one to be a "big one" - Our contest will start in a few weeks and right now we are looking to build a mailing list of contestants.
We envision prizes to winners, public voting, many photo entries and in the end, the production of a calendar that will benefit rescue by bring funds to rescue programs. This is in spirit of keeping rescue dollars in our bulldog community.
The most important part - that any thing we do to keep monies that are going to be 'spent on a calendar' anyway in our bulldog community. We hope to redirect calendar monies to a cause that benefits the bulldog community, which is a 'good thing'. Not bashing anyone else that does a calendar - just want to take control of the 'bulldog image calendar' and get a piece of the pie for rescue.
I look at this as "I going to buy something anyway, I should do good when possible". Personally - I buy green, I buy American and I will buy to support charities. Thinking along these lines "I need calendars, most likely a bulldog one - WHY NOT one that benefits rescue instead of a corporation?"
How many times have you looked at a bulldog calendar and 'wished' or wondered IF any of the proceeds go to rescue? This calendar, you won't need to wonder - after costs, everything goes to rescue.
We just need to reach as many bulldog owners as possible - the chat boards, meet-up groups, clubs, rescues, dog parks - these are the people that buy calendars.

Every person we can contact or you contact - is one more person that might be willing to buy a rescue calendar to support rescue verses a 'product' that isn't benefiting rescue directly.
