Saturday, June 17, 2017

The official countdown has begun. We have 8 days now until Catathon. This next week will be very busy getting the last details done. An exciting time for FFRC.

Remember you can still pre-resgister for the Catathon. We'd like to have all the pre-registrations done on June 22. That way it gives us time to get these records ready for the big day! You can go to our website at fofrescue.org and check out the pre registration info. This doesn't mean you have to make any bids--it just shortens the time on the phone should you call in for bids! To call those bids in, you simply use the regular phone number---419-393-2400!

Tomorrow, Sunday is the first day of the Catathon Fun-Raiser! Watch on our cam and facebook pages for info. We have 10 awesome items for this fun-raiser. The ticket money will be added to our Catathon totals each round. We will have 2 winning tickets drawn for Rounds 2,3,4,5,6.  And in the 7th round, we will draw names for the wonderful consolation prizes!  

This Thursday Arthur Phone Company will be coming to get the 7 phone lines in place for the Catathon! After they have everything connected, we will do as we've done in years past---ask you, the viewers, to call us. We need lots of callers to do this so we flood the lines and make sure all our lines, connections and phones work!  When it's time, we'll give you the thumbs up to call in!  We won't have time to chat---just a quick response and good bye--that way we can keep calls coming in to check them! 

Friday we will have a big screen TV coming to be used in the Shelter House. This is for viewing of friends that are watching from there. Rent-A-Center will be bringing the TV and picking it up free of charge. And no charge for the rental either! Thanks Rent-A-Center!

Yes, only 8 more days. Be sure to take some time to view all the items involved in the Catathon. Every item is wonderful and donated by our FFRCNation!  Many thanks. You can view every round and every item by going to our website at fofrescue.org

Just wanted to repeat what our goals are for the Catathon! As you know, this is our biggest fundraiser of the year! 
GOALS:
Lights under walkway--very dark there
4-4 foot resin tables
6 big recycle containers
Window in Dog Room--Camvi wants some natural light!
Screen In the Porch
Liability Insurance due
Cement pad under the Covies jungle gym
Cement pad inside the Feeding Station
Fence to protect visitors on farm yard--very important due to Mercy's blindness
Insulate Firehouse for the cats
Operational cost needs--much needed

Please know that every penny will be used wisely!
