HI EVERYONE! Well I am finally settled in Florida! 2200 miles, 6 dogs,
3 people, 2 vehicles, 2 cats, 1 ferret, a trailer and a little lemon
tree - 4 days! WOO HOO!

If you are currently sending donations through the mail please make
sure you have my new address (listed below) to send it to. While the
mail should be forwarded it isn't always the case and some get
returned.

So it's time to mail or paypal your BaM Donation for August! You can
also set it up on your banks billpay system to come out of your bank
either once a month or pay for the full year ($12.00). I love
billpay... I get paid, I pay my bills through it and make my donations
through it and I don't even have to think about it once I set it... I
just know that it's going to a good cause.... well the donation part...
not the bills. lol

So - what is Buck-A-Month? - for those that don't know..

12 years ago is when it all started .. with such a simple suggestion...
send Support our Shelter (SOS) $1.00 a month. One little dollar... that
doesn't sound so bad... and when you think that $1.00 is still worth
the same in this "club" as it was 11 years ago  -  that's pretty BIG
news! We decided to call it... the Buck-A-Month Club. You didn't have
to be rich to be in the "club". ANYONE could join the club... ferrets,
kids, cats, dogs... shoot... even FISH... and whoever else could come
up with a dollar a month!

In 2002 I wrote: "Think of what that money would mean to all of the
shelters out there? $1.00 a month won't break you. You wouldn't even
know it was gone. " This STILL holds true. I have a certain amount that
I do a billpay for and I don't even notice that it's gone each month...
because what I send in is still less than what I could buy ONE lunch
for!

We have several people that just pay for the whole year at once.
$12.00... and we have several others who send in their money monthly
as they get it. You can send in $1.00 at a time... or more!

You can use PayPal or do BillPay from your bank and not have to think
about it again....but of course you can STILL donate more if you want!

Be sure you include your name for SOS Honor Roll! We also need your
address so that we can mail you your Membership Card!... not only do
you get to help SOS help shelters around the world... but you get a
cute card for doing it to show that you are a member of a Special Club.

the check out to Support Our Shelters)
