So it's time to mail or paypal your BaM Donation for November! You can also set it up on your banks billpay system to come out of your bank either once a month or pay for the full year ($12.00). I love billpay... I get paid, I pay my bills through it and make my donations through it and I don't even have to think about it once I set it... I just know that it's going to a good cause.... well the donation part... not the bills. lol So - what is Buck-A-Month? - for those that don't know.. 11 years ago is when it all started (OMG It's been 11 years!)... with such a simple suggestion... send Support our Shelter (SOS) $1.00 a month. One little dollar... that doesn't sound so bad... and when you think that $1.00 is still worth the same in this "club" as it was 10 years ago - thats pretty BIG news! We decided to call it... the Buck-A-Month Club. You didn't have to be rich to be in the "club". ANYONE could join the club... ferrets, kids, cats, dogs... shoot... even FISH... and whoever else could come up with a dollar a month! In 2002 I wrote: "Think of what that money would mean to all of the shelters out there? $1.00 a month won't break you. You wouldn't even know it was gone. " This STILL holds true. I have a certain amount that I do a billpay for and I don't even notice that it's gone each month... because what I send in is still less than what I could buy ONE lunch for! We have several people that just pay for the whole year at once. $12.00... and we have several others who send in their money monthly as they get it. You can send in $1.00 at a time... or more! You can use PayPal or do BillPay from your bank and not have to think about it again....but of course you can STILL donate more if you want! Be sure you include your name for SOS Honor Roll! We also need your address so that we can mail you your Membership Card!... not only do you get to help SOS help shelters around the world... but you get a cute card for doing it to show that you are a member of a Special Club. If you would like to "join" please send a check or money to: (Make the check out to Support Our Shelters) BaM C/O Support Our Shelters 5511 Canteria Court Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 or pay through PayPal (if paying through PayPal please send for the full year). Tax-Deductible Donations accepted through PayPal: [log in to unmask] (if you can't see the email link here it is with a space put in it BAM @ Supportourshelters.org) make sure to put your mailing address and name if doing paypal so I know who to send the card to Please send all donations in US$. Friends outside the US can send money orders or use PayPal, which will convert their currency for them if they select US$ as the currency to be sent.
