Tootsie Mead invited me to an event on FB yesterday for a gal in Adelaide, S. Australia. Below is the info if you are moved enough that you might want to help. Friday, August 31, 2012 (That is Aussie time). As many of you are aware Debbie Hicks (in Australia) lost her home last night to a devastating fire, she lost all of her belongings and many of her loved Pets perished in the fire! Some were saved but need vet treatment and others are still missing. She needs help to rebuild her life and possibly with vet bills and new animal housing! Please add items to the auction or your can donate to PayPal [log in to unmask] is the PayPal address! All funds will be forwarded to Debbie and her family!

Several folks who visit the FML frequently do business with our International family and http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/137483533060021/ if you are not a fan of FB I thought you would like to know of this tragic event.
