To Our Generous Donors: The new Rooftop Unit is installed and running. Please accept the deepest gratitude of the Board and members of the Greater Chicago Ferret Association for coming to the aid of the residents of our Shelter. As of June 11, the GCFA has: - Sought three separate bids for installation of a new Heating and Cooling Rooftop Unit. - Received sufficient funding to purchase and install a brand new Rooftop Unit. - Submitted a deposit for this purchase and installation. - Installed a second vent for the new portable A/C Unit for emergency cooling needs. - Installed a new Trane 4-ton Rooftop Unit on Tuesday June 8. The new unit is now providing a great deal more cooling than the original 15-year-old unit. The ferrets and volunteers are enjoying the comfortable environment. This is especially good timing as Chicago is now in the high-80's and low 90's and the shelter is now caring for nearly 90 ferrets. Every dollar the GCFA receives goes directly to the care of the ferrets; these donations fund the facility, veterinary care, food and medicine. The staff and Board of the GCFA are all volunteers. Your support is key to the continued successful operation of the GCFA Shelter and the more than 6,000 ferrets it has housed, fed and cared for throughout the past 22 years. Again, please accept our thanks for your continued generosity. All of the fuzzies appreciate it. Sincerely, Board and Staff of the Greater Chicago Ferret Association [Posted in FML 6726]
