NO CHOCOLATE! 2010

NOW PLAYING: MY FUNNY VALENTINE

Anim

Just what WAS a
*NO* CHOCOLATE!
fundraiser?

For EACH donation, you received a card to send to your gift recipients telling them that instead of sending them chocolate this year, you have donated - in their name - to CRUSA (Cairn Rescue USA) or NAR (National Airedale Rescue).

And WHY WAS I doing this cooperative fundraiser? THREE REASONS:

* In July 2009, Eddie the Cairn was rescued by Frances Martin of OKLAHOMA AIREDALE RESCUE. You can read his story HERE

** Thanks to a CAIRNAlert from many members of the Airedale Rescue Community, Frazier the Cairn was rescued & rehomed in November 2008. You can read his story HERE

*** In November 2006, Daisy2Legs was pulled from the Kalamazoo Shelter and brought to Chicago by Rita Ferrer, of Airedale & Wire Fox Terrier Rescue. You can read Daisy's story HERE. (That's her in the mermaid costume below.) Rita coined the phrase, "Rescue Without Borders".

this fundraiser is closed for 2010.
I plan to do this again in 2011.

A special THANK YOU to Charlotte Anderson of CRUSA for the idea (originally, *NO* FRUITCAKE!) and a special THANK YOU to CairnDaddy for making the graphics!
