Just want to advise everyone that FACT (the Ferret Association of CT) has initiated a monthly eMail newsletter. I'll be happy to send a copy of the first issue. Just shoot me an email. Should you want to subscribe, please send an email to [log in to unmask] and we will add you to the mailing list. Right now adds and requests to delete are handled manually until we narrow down the automated service that will give us the best service/deal. ;) The newsletter will consist of a general information article and will feature both a currently available adoptee as well as a foster ferret. We will also feature a shelter benefit item. Possibly in the future we will be seeking sponsor ads, but that will be down the road! Our first issue went out last week (as those of you on the FML who are on our email list know) and the response has been very positive. This is going to supplement our regular bi-monthly, printed newsletter and help us reach more folks with information more quickly. And, the best part - it IS free! :) Please rest assured, you won't be spammed every other day; nor do we sell, lend or otherwise let anyone use any of FACT's database of snail or email addresses. Your information will only be used with the utmost care. We may use it for a unscheduled random ferret emergency event but rest assured that while we love dogs, cats, wild mustangs, Alaskan wolves, Amazon parrots, the Nile crocodile and wish we could save the krill that ensures the survival of whales; you won't hear from us about those or any other animal welfare subjects that are or may become personally dear to our hearts!). In short, we will keep it for and about ferrets! Ann Gruden President, Ferret Association of Connecticut, Inc. [Posted in FML 6549]
