Carol,
Congratulations to you and Jim for a great product, a great service to Arizona and formal acknowledgement of an awful lot of hard work on the part of you and Jim. I know (somewhat) how hard the two of you work.

You guys now deserve buckets of money coming in every month!!!

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks for the opportunity Carol. You two do such a great job--I don't know how you keep things straight and all together. Plus with the hunting segment comin on now you're adding a whole new dimension of craziness!

Best,
Ed

Hello Jim and Carol.
It was great to see you both.
Max and I have to work on saturday, soo we will not be able to help out at Tempe town Lake. Sorry.

Over the past two years Chuck and I have been amazed at how many people have commented to us that they have read about us on the internet. They do a search and it derects them to the AZBW web site. They have read the articles and seen the adds. This has been great for our business! It is well worth advertising with AZBW. Not only do we have the monthly publication, we have internet coverage. Priceless!!!!!

Thank You, Carol and Jim for all of your hard work.

AZBW New Hunting Section

Jim,
I just saw the new October-November issue with the new hunting section – nice work. I like that it is a pull out section and allows quick reference of just hunting material.

Also, thank you for giving so much page space for the Departments small game promotion. Our “Small Game, Big Fun” campaign will run through the end of January.

Best Regards,

Douglas Burt, PIO Sport Fish and Wildlife

Dear Jim & Carol,

I just wanted to thank you personally for all the publicity you provided, as well as the auction donation, for this last weekend’s Leukemia Cup Regatta, January 16-18, 2009, at Lake Pleasant Harbor with the Arizona Yacht Club. It was also fun to be on the radio - for the first time ever!

We had many compliments and cannot thank you enough for your generous contributions. The regatta was a HUGE success! We had 240 people for dinner Saturday night (a record!), and 64 boats competing in the Leukemia Cup, Eventagram, and Birthday Regatta races. Rick D’Amico (Channel 10 Fox News) once again emcee’d our live auction. The Arizona Yacht Club’s goal was to raise $65,000 for LLS this year, but with gas prices sky high earlier in the year and the current economic conditions, we were doubtful. Shame on us! We raised over $67,000 for patient aid and blood cancer research.

On behalf of the brave blood cancer patients in Arizona, I extend our sincere thanks for your help in making this a very special event. To see some great pictures, go to Arizona Yacht Club

Sincerely,

Congratulations. You folks have worked hard to build up a good paper and you certainly deserve the award. In these economic times and problems for the print media, that any of you can push ahead is a tribute to energy. LG
