so....we need to get this fundraiser going again...Alicia really needs the help...with so many oldsters causing the vet bills to skyrocket...we need to raise more than just the web-page [which is necessary for the education it provides AND the ongoing fundraising needed]...funds... we have come up with an idea to be able to use Paypal again... but we would need help from some of you... we came up with the idea of "selling" note cards. ie: $1.00 for 1 note card $5.00 for 6 notecards $10.00 for 6 notecards $20.00 for 6 notecards or $50.00 for 6 notecards with NO mention of a raffle...or fundraiser ANYWHERE...including the web page... i will change the web page...and the url since it says raffle in it... and i will take all mention of raffle off the page... i will keep taking pics of the afghan...but you will need to e-mail me for pics...i still can not upload any pics to my site... [looks like i may need to get a new webhost for myself!] of course, you all know what would be going on behind the scenes...and yes..i did not change the number of notecards with the higher amounts on purpose...it just would not be cost effective...and this is not really about selling notecards... the PROBLEM is... we need people to 'volunteer' to send me the notecards to send out to the people...i really DO have to actually send out cards that are being purchased. i estimate we will need up to 120 cards...that allows for approx. 20 people buying 'notecard pkgs'.... so i do not expect anyone to donate all of them... or if it would make the person/s feel better and not feel they are over-donating...i have no problem with sending the info to them to send the cards out as needed...that way they do not need to worry about sending me too many cards...[if they did...i would, of course, mail back any not used!] so...if we get anyone interested in donating the ferrety notecards... we can then get this fundraiser back off the ground... i was also thinking of offering crocheted eggs or toys...but i just do not have time to make them AND the afghan for the fundraiser...so if anyone wishes to go that route...that will be fine also... thank you all in advance... if we are going to do this...we must have something to actually sell to make it "legal"... e-mail me at [log in to unmask] if you wish to help... love, kat -- KAT JUST PLAIN KAT KITYKAT *REEEEEEEEER* http://ferretlover97.terrabox.com Don't compare your life to others.
