***Light bulb flashes above head*** I just had a GREAT idea!!! there are many, many talented people on this FML...be it painting, crocheting, woodworking, knitting, stained glass, and so much more... you all have supplies handy...at least most creative people have stuff around... how about each one of you [who is able] make one of whatever it is that you make and donate it to be raffled off for the advancement of ADV Research? It does not have to be a huge item...just whatever it is that you create.. I have permission from Julie Fossa to post her contact info so you can contact her for the info to get the items to her [so she can take them to the shows she goes to and "Raffle them off"...] I had my mommy crochet an afghan especially for this purpose..it was gorgeous..and it had a ferret on it in "puffs' and the words..."Love your ferret today...Like there is no tomorrow"...it brought in $120.00... that is nothing to sneeze at!!!... maybe you yourself have been wondering "what can i do to help?" i plan on making some afghans myself to donate... what can YOU do? what WILL you do? and what will YOU get out of it?... Just the good feeling of doing something to help...as for me...that is all i want... PLEASE create your special creation and send it to Julie...PLEASE! Julie Fossa < [log in to unmask] > West Central Ohio Ferret Shelter It matters not if you are from this area...Mail the item to Julie...she will get it to a show... Please...help us help the fight against ADV...Remember..as Judy Gronwold says... The ferret you save may be your own... Thank you! kat KITY= .. =KAT...
