It's hard to believe that it was 7 years ago last month when the Buck-A-Month Club got started! That is a LONG TIME! March 2002 is when it all started... which such a simple suggestion... $1.00 a month. One little dollar... that doesn't sound so bad... and when you think that $1.00 is still worth the same in this "club" as it was 7 years ago - thats pretty BIG news! In 2002 I wrote: "Think of what that money would mean to all of the shelters out there? $1.00 a month won't break you. You wouldn't even know it was gone." This STILL holds true. I have a certain amount that I do a billpay for and I don't even notice that it's gone each month... because what I send in is still less than what I could buy ONE lunch for! We have several people that just pay for the whole year at once. $12.00... and we have several others who send in their money monthly as they get it. You can send in $1.00 at a time... or more! You can use PayPal or do BillPay from your bank and not have to think about it again....but of course you can STILL donate more if you want! Be sure you include your name for SOS Honor Roll!
