Ok, so maybe I figured that all the members of FML had telepathic powers OR maybe I thought that everyone just 'KNEW' about our show, either way, I was wrong. So, I am going to start with the basics. Who we are: We are an organization in Michigan that was established in January of 2000. Our organization received it's 501(c)3 status in 2003. We are not a large organization but we are united by the common denominator--ferrets. Rescuing, sheltering and educating. What we do: Throughout the year we hold various events. These events may be hosted by us or we may be invited by another organization. We also travel to shows outside of the state of Michigan. At the end of the day, our plan is to make money. Money that will be used to help ease the cost of running a shelter. In the past we have also donated to ADV research. We have also been there for the shelters when disaster strikes. This year we are hosting the Ferret FunFest 2006. It is being held in Westland, Michigan on May 6th. It is an all specialty show with no points given. It's done basically for 'sh&ts and giggles' :-) We do require adv testing for our show. A wonderful person that we all know and love has gone beyond her usual talents to create a beautiful afghan for us to raffle off. The winning number will be drawn at the show. You need not be present to win. Tickets are 1 for $1.00 OR 6 for $5.00. To view this work of art by Kat please visit www.mfran.org and click on the picture of the afghan on your left side of the screen. Kat has entitled it "Ferrets In May Flowers". It is gorgeous!!!!
