Dear Friends , As the circle completes we here at Ferret Wise find ourselves at the point of our beginning. Due to increased costs in mandated tax filings, accountant fees, and other requirements, our income to run the hospice & education services is nearly non existent. It is with a heavy heart we must enter dissolution and retire our non profit status. After all our work is to educate and provide food, veterinary care, nursing and behavioral modification, etc., for the hospice kids and emergencies here, not merely to feed the fed coffers. So, after this month - December, we will no longer be able to accept donations for tax deductible purposes, and our existent bank account will be closed. Those who wish to continue to support our work and would like a tax deduction may forward donations to Save Our Shelters and specify food, or veterinary support. http://http://www.supportourshelters.org Our website domain is secure and our site will continue to provide much needed information, on our own we will do our best to continue to provide educational assistance. http://www.ferretwise.org If you do not require a tax deduction you can send donations specifically earmarked to my attention personally, or to our veterinary hospital Park Place Veterinary Hospital ACCOUNT #706 92 Old Homestead Highway Keene, NH 03431-4471 (603) 357-4049 We send great appreciation to all of you who have seen us through the nearly 16 years of sheltering and education. Our beginning was modest and we return to that small corner of the rescue community. Our emails daily contain please for information & referral, our phones still ring, the work continues, but in a smaller way. May you all have a very Blessed Holiday Season. Alicia, for the many faces of Ferret Wise [Posted in FML 7273]
