This is for sharing ideas for the NE RCF benefit's success. Please feel free to network here and help make it happen.

From the RCF Website"One of the most important vaccine research studies in veterinary medicine is underway at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in Madison. Dr. Ronald Schultz, a leading authority on veterinary vaccines and Chair of the Department of Pathobiological Sciences, has begun concurrent 5 and 7 year challenge studies to determine the long-term duration of immunity of the canine rabies vaccine, with the goal of extending the state-mandated interval for boosters. These will be the first long-term challenge studies on the canine rabies vaccine to be published in the United States. This research is being financed by The Rabies Challenge Fund, a charitable trust founded by pet vaccine disclosure advocate Kris L. Christine of Maine, who serves as Co-Trustee with worldrenowned veterinary research scientist and practicing clinician, Dr. W. Jean Dodds of Hemopet in California. The Rabies Challenge Fund recently met its goal of $177,000 to fund the studies’ first year budget with contributions from dog owners, canine groups, trainers,veterinarians, and small businesses. Annual budget goals of $150,000 for the studies must be met in the future".

The date set for OUR N.E. RCF Fundraiser is March 14th, 2009.
The Fundraiser will be held at Rutgers Univ.in NJ, with both Dr. Dodds and Dr. Schultz speaking. We will be able to hold up to 300 people.
A continental breakfast and light vegetarian lunch will be offered.
Final details are to be worked out and this group is to help network and brainstorm and publicize the fundraiser.

Once fundraising costs are met, all proceeds will go to The Rabies Challenge Fund. RCF is totally "Grass-roots" funded. Once the studies are completed, there will be science to support the changing of the laws that have been made with NO science behind them.
