I would be in support of a calendar where the proceeds are donated to the Basenji Health Endowment. If members of the forum are interested, we can research printing costs and have a photo contest to select which photos will be used.
I would also support that idea:D

I think a calendar with the proceeds to the Basenji Health Endowment would be a great idea…. It could be done on Cafe Press and then there would be no inventory needed

Cafepress is pretty expensive, although they have a lot more products to choose from compared to some other similar online print shops.

Since Nina has volunteered to do some research on what our printing options might be, I think we should take her up on it. :)

I know I use winkflash to print out all my digital prints. You can upload prints & create calendars on their website for only $10-17 each (depending on the size) & then add another $3 for shipping.

Please PM us your findings and suggestions.
Shortly we will announce Basenji Forums community photo voting contest. Most voted photos will go into the Basenji Forums calendar and screensaver.
Thank you everyone!

I think BCOA is doing a calendar for 2009…pretty sure I read that on their website...the theme is puppy pics and the deadline is end of March.
Pat, seeing as you are a board member...do you know where the proceeds from that will go or could you find out?

you can get 100 in color for $748.99
so thats like $7.50 a piece, if you sell them for 15 + shipping, you'd be donating $750 to the Basenji Health Endowment -

I agree… and yes Cafepress is more expensive, but unless someone can afford to pay up front and carry the inventory and do all the mailing, it is an option. We have run into this many times especially when we did the BCONC fund raiser for the stuff toys (which by the way, Brindles are still available)...
And it was not "fun" worrying about all the shipping... -

So many wonderful pictures, It may prove difficult picking just 12.;)
Some sort of selection process would have to be decided on.
I've used forums that have a voting feature, I don't know how we do it here.
2 Calendars perhaps…...puppies and adults????
Just some thoughts ladies and gents........carry on.:D

Voting would seem to work best. Most people would be happy then.

We are currently working on setting up a store where you could purchase Basenji Forums related merchandise including photo calendars and tshirts.
Thank you,
Fun, fun, fun!

You know you could actually put more than 1 photo per month. If someone took a few photos for each month & made it into a college then you could easily include 4-5 even 6 photos on every month vs. just 1. This would be nice since there are so many members & so many beautiful doggies & I'm sure most individuals would want to see their B in the calendar!

The proceeds for that will go to fund the 2008 National Specialty, I think.

Perhaps a theme for each month with 4-6 photos selected to make the collage for the month?
