Dooks all ~!~! There will be a slight change for the July Meeting of the Pacific Ferret Shelter Network. The Meeting will be on Saturday July 12, 6pm-9pm, but the location is changed. The meeting will be held at CRITTER NANNY Animal Boarding, 15574 South Howards Mill Road in Mulino, OR. Jim and Nancy have graciously offered to let us have a little BBQ Meeting there. Directions will be coming shortly. We will also have orange signs with flags attached and a pic of a fuzzy face to help guide you on the way. They'll be posted at the various turns. Franks and condiments will be supplied by the PFSN. If you prefer something else, please bring your own pre-cooked faire. Also bring your own table service and a salad or dessert to share.. Ah ... July .. the month we celebrate the birth of our nation and our independence. What better time to celebrate the 'birthdays' of some very special kids. We will be having a birthday party for those kids in the shelters. We would like each person attending to help celebrate by bringing a gift ($5-$10 value) suitable for a shelter ferret (bedding, toy, nutrastat, treats, gift certificate for meds). The gifts will be collected and distributed to the PFSN Shelters. There will be a birthday cake to help celebrate. Let's not forget the greeting card contest ~!~! There are 2 categories this month - 4th of July and Birthday. You can enter a homemade card in either (or both) categories. Prizes will be awarded. Guests are always welcome to attend and participate ~!~! SPECIAL NOTE: Since we plan on having the meeting outdoors, and the weather has been unusually warm at times, it is recommended that ferrets NOT be brought to this meeting For current PFSN Members - Don't forget the jingle contest that will be drawing to a close soon ~! Just your best little ditty, jingle, or poem regarding a ferret - Cash Prize to be awarded once all entries are in and judged. We will also be having a benefit for one of the PFSN Shelters. Auction?
