I hope that everyone is ready for the holidays! I would like to remind everyone about the Buck a Month Club (BaM). This club was started April 2002. It was a simple idea that I had, and with the help of Judith White at SOS came to life. So, what is it? The Buck a Month club is a monthly or yearly donation to SOS to help ferret shelters through out the year. SOS takes this money and sends it to needy shelters. They have been able to help with vet costs and other emergency needs. The money that you send is tax deductible and at the end of the year you will receive the tax deductible information for your taxes. and how does it work? Simple.... To join you only need to send $1.00 a month, or $12.00 for the year to BaM C/O Support Our Shelters 1236 Belfield Avenue Drexel Hill, PA 19026-4211 You can even pay through PayPal [log in to unmask] If paying through PayPal please send for the full year. We ask this because of the transaction fees that occur when you send through PayPal. Sending a small amount ($1.00) could mean that BaM only will get .50 cents of it. Right now there are 121 members in this club! I would love to see this membership list grow to 500 or more! Just remember, it only takes a dollar a month to be a member. Don't think your little dollar will help? It's does. So far this year BaM member have contributed over $2,100. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS. That is the joy behind this. One dollar a month, or $12 a year is pretty easy for everyone. Of course, you can always send more.
