Dooks All ~!~! No invitation needed, really.. all ferret lovin' hoomans are welcome to the Pacific Ferret Shelter Network Holiday Party. This year, the PFSN Holiday Party will be on Saturday December 13th, from 630-930pm at the Oregon City Municipal Pool Building. The pool is located at 1211 Jackson Street (corner 12th Street), in Oregon City, OR. Dinner will be a pot lock, though we will supply the punch and a ham <no, not me - well, I'll be there so 2 hams>. Please bring a sidedish or dessert. Got a special visitor lined up. Yeppers~! Santa will be there for pics with your fur-kids so bring your camera along. That jolly ol' elf just luvs having the kids frolic through his beard. There will also be a special Ferret Gift Exchange. Bring a $5.00 wrapped fuzzy gift for each kid particiapting, and Santa will give you one in exchange. PFSN Shelters will have tables set up so you can do some last minute Christmas shopping, and, the auctioneer extroidinare, Bill Stevenson will be on hand to help with our live auction. Lotsa good items up for grabs. Has anyone hinted about a new computer table? Well, Santa informed me that he is donating one to the auction - it's about 6'tall and 3-1/2' wide with a pull out keyboard drawer, top shelf, and room to store several cd's. It has wheels so you can move it wherever you wish. Brand new, still in the box. I asked Santa how much it was worth in a store and all he said was, "Big bucks" - I don't think he was talking reindeer~! There will be bins set up for donations to the PFSN Shelters. The shelter kids wrote a letter to Santa saying, "Dear Santa, we would like hammocks, treats, food, bedding, nutro-stat, treats, treats, and toys! Love, The Shelter Kids". Let's see if we can help make their wish come true. All items donated into the bins will be divided among the shelters in the PFSN - we've got some new shelters out there and would like to share the wealth. Our website is up and running again thanks to Bill and Laura at the Emmett Ferret Shelter in Idaho. They put a lot of work into it so let's all check it out~!~!~! www.FERRETNET.ORG . Copies of our flyer for the party are available there (pdf download). If the link doesn't work, email me and I will send one to you. Print one out to share with your friends or post at work if you can. All are invited, the more the merrier ~!~!~!
