Hi everyone,
I am so excited to announce the kickoff of Friends of Ferret Shelters!
Every month, we'll put together a special theme gift basket and several
other items to benefit a different ferret shelter in need. Every single
penny of the proceeds from our inaugural raffle will benefit the
FerretsFirst shelter in Annandale, Virginia
<http://ferretsfirst.org/>
Hurry up and buy your tix! The raffle deadline is Feb. 9!!
This month's raffle has five terrific items: a big box of carefully
selected toys; beautifully plush, handmade hammie and cage mat sets;
a delightful Bath & Body Works gift set with coupons and attractive
tote bag; and a large, lovely gift basket crammed with all kinds of
Valentine's Day goodies!
To enter, go to <http://www.shelterfriends.blogspot.com/>
Click on the PayPal logo to purchase your tickets: $2 for one, three
for $5 or six tickets for $10. Follow the instructions on the website
to purchase your tickets - it's very simple and totally secure!!
The idea for this monthly raffle came from all the recent posts about
shelters closing, shelters overflowing with ferrets, and shelter
operators struggling to survive against a never-ending river of need.
Lisa Oestereich and I decided to start this monthly raffle to try and
help out. We wouldn't even tell you our names, except we thought you'd
want to know whose email address you're being asked to send money to
on the PayPal form.
Be sure to include your own name, email address AND a snailmail address
(so we can mail you the goodies!) in the Notes section of your PayPal
form. A phone number is helpful, too.
Again, entries are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9. The raffle will be
drawn Sunday, Feb. 11. Winners will be notified via email and the items
will be mailed out Priority right away.
Please don't hesitate to contact me or Lisa, or post on the blog, if
you have any questions or concerns. And if you'd like to join us and
help out with future raffles, we'd love to hear from you!
Good luck, and have a very happy Valentine's Day!
