It's time to remind you about BAM! ---- We are running out of time to
raise $2000.00 by the end of the year... We are ALMOST THERE!

Did you send in your donations for the November Buck-A-Month Club?
You did? Well Congrats!

Hmmm I think I see some of you staring at the computer confused going
"what in the world is this person talking about?!".... Ok ok....
soooooooo let me explain.... for those that don't know... or those that
don't remember... or those that need this time to write the check and
find an envelope...... yes, you can take the envelope back from the
ferret ---- and no, you cannot ask the ferret to lick the stamp for
you because you won't get it back in a useable shape! :-)

About 8 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 8 years ago - thats
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 (see below for
details)
