Hi all and a premature Happy New Year to everyone. We are awaiting a hard snowstorm here in Pa. Some of us happy(me) and some not (the husband in charge of shoveling:) Anyway, I want to say how great an idea the Giving Tree was and I was happy to be a sponser. I agree it should be done more often. I also very much enjoyed the Christmas card exchange and want to thank everyone for the cards. I especially enjoyed the computer made ferret cards and the ferret photo cards. I have them filed away to enjoy thru-out the year. Next, I want to encourage everyone to continue support of Anne and Kim. I don't know Anne personally,but what she is doing is wonderful. I consider Kim to be my friend and one of the biggest hearted people I know. Thumbs up also to the auctions that are running. Please consider a purchase or 2. Jen H. is a tireless fundraiser for KiSta and I am proud to know her. All these people care so much for the fuzzies. It is wonderful, the way so many have come together to help. When the ferts are ready to get families, I hope many of us will be willing to add another furface. That will be the biggest help of all. Take care everybody. Carol along with ,in order of their appearance, Meeka Mouse,Sammy, Skritch,Louie, Savannah Cecelia, Tasha, Lily, Baby,Zen, and Rascal. And 3 long-suffering cats :) Botz, Dee and Yiddo.
