NOW PLAYING: BURNIN' LOVE (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) Graphic by Sally Babcock. Animation by Neal Skrenes ON 23 FEBRUARY, FIRST CHOICE WINNER KATHY PETTY WRITES: We won, we won, I can't stand it we won!!!!! We were out walking/playing in what is left of our snow, and when we came in we had a phone message that we had the grand prize first choice. Well since the boy is still young we thought we should take Package 7, as he needs to learn to spend more time reading and less time wreaking havoc! I also thought about the Barks and Bubbles, but the cute Airedale reading picture stole my heart! Christine and all thank you for doing this. I am sure the senior Airedales will sleep better knowing that they have you in their corner. Thank you, Kathy & Rumpy (sure glad she did not pick anything that would have to do with a bath for me, I do feel bad that I did not win the Hippy Dippy jacket, but since the snow is already leaving I guess I do not need it as much as someone else) TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2008: 10,558 USD = 10,390 CAD = 5,298 GBP = 6,936 EUR = 11,322 AUD GOAL FOR 2008 9,000 USD = 9,024 CAD = 4,522 GBP = 6,064 EUR = 10,047 AUD TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2007: 8,067 USD = 9,503 CAD = 4,178 GBP = 6,13 EUR = 10,350 AUD TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2006 5,830 USD = 6,714 CAD = 3,350 GBP = 4,897 EUR = 7,896 AUD TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2005 3,546 USD = 4,069 CAD = 2,012 GBP = 2,950 EUR = 4,733 AUD TOTAL FUNDS RAISED IN 2004 3,395 USD VISIT HERE TO SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH THE 2009 SENIOR AIREDALES FUNDRAISER The list of DAILY PRIZES is HERE.
