Where did the year go? WOW!

We -- the Buck-A-Month Club had an amazing year! We far exceeded our
fund raising goal! You all are amazing! Thank you!

This year I will be sending out the "Membership Cards" again. So if
you have donated or are going to donate -- please remember to include
your mailing address.

So it's time to mail or paypal your BaM Donation for January! 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..

11 years ago is when it all started (OMG It's been 11 years!)... 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.
