Our company is dedicated to supporting non-profit organizations, raising over $500,000 through sales of our two cookbooks, A Musical Feast and All-Star Feast. Our third book, PETS, will be a compilation of photos of celebrities with short stories about why they cherish their pets. Celebrities participating include Halle Berry, John Travolta, Michael Jordan, Madonna, and Will Smith. All photographers, editorial and art talent have donated their work and time to these projects. Global Liaisons, Inc. plans to launch Animal Fair Magazine in May/June 1999. The publication focuses on the vital and enriching bond between human beings and animals. Its mission is to bring insightful, compassionate, informative, and entertaining coverage of animals and their owners, from fascinating people who make pets an important part of their lives, to extraordinary animals doing the ordinary, to ordinary animals caught up in extraordinary circumstances.

The publication will feature stories and photos of celebrities and their pets, true stories about animals and real people, in a pleasing design that appeals to a mass audience. We are designating a number of pages to different non-profit animal organizations to promote their work in each issue. The organizations will also be able to give their address and number for people to contact them directly or to receive information to become more involved.
