Of Mutts and Men

Just received an e-mail:

In Temple, New Hampshire, the Friends of Temple Town Hall are creating a calendar for 2006 called "Of Mutts and Men," as a means of raising funds to renovate our historic Town Hall. Our active committee of Temple residents has to date raised more than $135,000.

The calendar is being designed and photographed by a team of creative professionals and will be produced in full color by one of New England's top printers. Each photo depicts a man or men engaged in an archetypal small-town activity, accompanied by highly photogenic dogs ranging in breed from Jack Russell Terrier to Saint Bernard -- from Mastiff to Mutt.

We go to press in mid-July, and are currently conducting a publicity campaign to attract pre-publication orders.
