Hi Everyone, My apologies for being silent recently. I hope that you all enjoyed the Holidays. What fun is it to watch Wild games? They are amazing!! They are helping us through the usual Twins/Vikings/Wolves suffering. Let's hope they keep it up and earn a number one seed for the playoffs! While we're having a very fun stretch of hockey to watch for the current team, we need to keep our eyes on the history that belongs to us. That history is the Minnesota North Stars. The signatures have lagged. It's going to take many more signatures and media notice to really help our case. I have tried, but I need YOUR HELP! I need you to share the petition like crazy and contact media personalities about it! Contact the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, KFAN, ESPN 1500, etc. We need exposure. I have been thinking about running a contest that is easy to track. Something such as if someone gets us some mainstream Minnesota coverage of the petition or if someone can get us a certain number of signatures to where people type in comments who referred them to the petition. I have some Minnesota sports memorbilla that I would be willing to part with for the right amount of production: -Minnesota Moose hockey puck from inaugural season. -Minnesota Wild hockey puck still in case. -Minnesota Wild hockey puck. -Minnesota North Stars hockey puck. -Minnesota North Stars pin. -Autographed Minnesota Wild hockey puck from Nate Prosser. -Autographed Minnesota Vikings mini-helmet signed by Jared Allen in case. -Minnesota Vikings picture frame. -Minnesota Twins picture frame. -Autographed large Jeff Reardon Minnesota Twins poster framed. I have an awesome Minnesota Wild autographed hockey stick by the entire 2007/2008 team along with a puck signed by Craig Leopold, but that is something that I cherish and is proudly on display! Would winning any of the above prizes motivate you to help our cause grow? I would even pay for shipping to send you the prize should we run a contest. Please weigh in with comments. If enough of you comment with interest, I will look into running something. Please note it's going to take work to win a prize (I'm not just going to send somebody a prize for 20 referral signatures for example). Thanks for your support and help!! Joel
