Mary Price will continue as NCA Rescue Chair and focus on raising funds from new sources, such as grants from foundations and other fundraising activities. Joan and Doug Fenwick have extensive experience in grant writing and have volunteered to help with grant applications.

NCA Rescue's first attempt at fundraising with shirts sales at the National Specialty was a huge success, no doubt due to Sue Miller and her team's efforts.
