Christmas season is here! That means it's time for the Support Our Shelters Christmas Card Exchange. This year we are going to do something a bit different. We are going to open it up to Facebook. It's time to share and to let others in on all the fun. This is how it works. First you email me at [log in to unmask] and sign up and give me your name and snail mail address. When everyone has signed up, I will divide all the names into lists. Lists can have anywhere from 5 to 12 names and addresses on them. It depends on how many people sign up. But your list will never have more than 12 people on it. Once you have your list, you send a Christmas card to every person on your list, and they in turn send one to you. The cards can be anything you want. Some are regular cards. Some are home made. Most are ferrety, but they don't have to be. The one thing they all have in common is they are fun. My name is on each list. If you would like, you can toss a few dollars in my card. Then at the end of the exchange I will total up all the donations, and it will be deposited in the Support Our Shelters general fund. This money goes to shelters in need for Vet bills, food, or Melatonin Implants. This year the card exchange has raised $1,172.00. Not quite my goal of $2,000.00, but the year isn't over yet.! The card exchange is a fun way to meet other ferret people and share some fun with ones you already know. The deadline to sign up is December 17, 2012. Please come and join us!
