In sadden times, I am asking everyone to help in this tough time with a donation of a top quality pigeon - money donation or just a prayer to help Renae Smeltzer Poole with the loss of her husband Michael D. Poole. As we all know, hospital bills and many doctor bills add up quickly which is bad enough but losing your husband to cancer at an early age (52) is even worse. I am sure we all went through tough times; I know I have, and I would like to try to help Renae Smeltzer during these tough times.  

    Many of you have met Renae over the years helping her Mom and Dad, Sharon and Fred Smeltzer at their live iPigeon auctions. The iPigeon auction site has touched many of us in different ways - selling our pigeons - buying new pigeons - promoting one loft races and even at times selling clocking systems. I could not even imagine where our pigeon sport would be if Fred Smeltzer & Fred Iantorno, and of course, Sharon Smeltzer would not have come up with the idea back in 1999 to start a pigeon auction site. 

    I will be starting this fund raiser this coming Sunday night and will keep it running on iPigeon until the end of March. If you can help in any way THANK YOU!! If it's not possible, a small prayer will do - you can forward pictures - pedigrees of any bird that you want to donate to my e-mail Ganus@att.net or directly to Fred Smeltzer, e-mail fredsloft@aol.com. For any money donations, please mail directly to Renae Poole - 491 Riverview Drive - Wrightsville PA  17368  

        Thank You for your time and thoughts over this tough time. Deb & Mike Ganus
