Change in officer: Traci Oliver

Buy-A-Great-Bass-For-Deborah-Fund

Where does the money go? Now it goes to TRACI OLIVER...who neatly stacks it, lines it up face-side forward, larger bills in stacks in the back, and keeps it all in a big safe. Waiting for the day that Deborah L. Smith will arrive wearing white gloves to haul it all away in a wheel barrow.

Just send big bags of money to:
"Deborah L. Smith"
c/o Traci Oliver
US Bank
156 South Main St
Akron, Ohio 44308

Dearest Adoring Fans,

This is the type of bass we're all going to help Deborah get, right?

Give till it hurts. Does it hurt yet?

Maybe if you ask Debbie really nice she'll give you one of these cool new Chi-Pig buttons w/tag. I don't know. You could try.
