The information about Barb Carlson's Hide-E-Hole Shelter was sent to me
by a friend. Please be advised of the following fundraiser for Barb to
be held on Thursday night, Nov. 6. It will be at the shelter and it is
FREE. It is NOT an IFC function, but is always held the night before a
symposium begins.

Typically we raise several hundred dollars for a shelter. I know that
in the past we usually took in close to $1000 in donations. In Canada
it was about $600 and in Portland it was $500. There are usually
adoptions from the shelter, too.

If you are planning to attend the symposium, please attend the dinner.
There will be food for carnivores, veggies and vegans. I will make
sweet tea and coffee with chickory. And, there will also be beignets.
No telling what all the locals will bring but I have heard of a few
good things!

You would probably pay $10 - 20 to go out to eat that night. Why not
donate it to the shelter instead? There will be a donation jar
available and it is NOT passed. You are able to donate or not as you
are able. If 60-75 people show up (typical number) and everyone can
donate $10, we would have a large pot for Barb.

The door prizes that are donated are wonderful AND, if for some reason
everyone does not get a doorprize, I will personally send them
biscotti. (You will have to turn in your ticket to me with the name
and address on it before we leave that night.)
