Here is the donation location for the SOS ~~~~~ Support Our Shelters ~~~~~ 100 Walsh Road Lansdowne, PA 19050 610-626-6647 Helping the Shelters of the Ferret Mailing List http://www.SupportOurShelters.org Ask me how you can help a shelter near you. <[log in to unmask]> Tax-Deductible Donations through PayPal to: <[log in to unmask]> EIN: 23-3062176 You will notice on the website that SOS is a 501(c) charity. This means that you can deduct contributions to the SOS when you file your taxes. It would be good if people who support Risa's idea -- want to send in a dollar, or a dollar for each of their ferrets to the SOS -- to commemorate the upcoming FML ISSUE FIVE THOUSAND would from time to time over the next few months repeat this info on the list and remind people that we are approaching an incredible milestone. Did you know that the majority of lists do no last even a year, and most fold once they reach about a thousand members. The FML is so unusual in having a long life and many members (about 2,500) that it has actually been followed by some internet sociologists and internet anthropologists in the past to see why it has worked so well since Dec 2, 1987.
