[Forwarded] Okay guys and gals it's time to help! These shelters really need us right now, desperately. We need to pull together and take immediate action! If you can't give money - give time, ideas and stuff. Imagine if we got a dollar or two from every local ferret owner right now, that would be a nice payment on a vet account! If this isn't a possibility (I have seen days I could not fine a dime!) volunteer time, clean out closets and bring stuff to sell. Just imaging one day something might happen to you, however we hope and pray not, but your ferrets might end up at one of these shelters. But what happens if they have to close or cannot take anymore and there is no one to take these babies? I am not trying to make anyone angry but this IS something one has to consider. We need to help these babies now and keep the shelters running! So on that note, we would like to have a rummage sale/bake sale on Saturday, Oct. 27th at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. Who will volunteer, bake something, or clean out their garage and donate the rest of their stuff before it gets too cold to do it? I am donating a 14" color monitor, HP DeskJet printer and some other pc hardware, this is stuff I could very well sell on my own but I know it will benefit the shelters. I will also make baked goods to sell and will be willing to give some very easy recipes to anyone or help them with the cooking if needed. Please contact me ([log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]) and let me know ASAP so that we can all pull together and help an animal shelter desperately in need. Please email me if you are going to bake for this sale. Donations and baked goods can be brought to the N. Raleigh Miami Subs corporate office (Wake Forest Rd & I-440) or to Shari Gunter's home (E. Raleigh - Poole Rd.). I will meet anyone making a donation at Crossroads Plaza, Cary (US 1 @ Walnut St.) parking lot of Borders Books. Next Sat or Sunday to pick up donations. Please specify a time and RSVP to me. [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Just think of all the little babies that will dook with glee because they have a loving place to go. Home is where you hang your hammy! Aprille Campbell TriFL, Fundraising Chairperson Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina www.TriFL.org [Posted in FML issue 3572]
