Friday, April 27, 2018 plus Catathon update!

Thanks ever so much for the successful Flash Sale that was yesterday!  This is always such a wonderful thing. I appreciate the people who made the items possible, those that purchased those items, our mods who help big time with this and of course Mich who comes here just to help us have fun and to raiser money for FFRC.  You all are wonderful.  Items will start going out today! 

We had an adoption yesterday. Our visitors for the week--Wendy & Joe adopted Blippity. They have already adopted Cupid and Valentine from FFRC.  His new name shall be Tinsel. They are now home after a long drive home and Tinsel is doing good!

***** And now to CATATHON update! Pleae remember, this is not set in stone yet! As items come in, we may juggle things around and even put them in different areas! It all gets fine-tuned as we get things organized!  For the Catathon, we have BASKETS, SMALL BIG TICKET ITEMS, BIG TICKET ITEMS, BIG BIG TICKET ITEMS plus items for the CATATHON FUN-RAISER.  Sounds like a foreign language!  I'll also give you the number of where we are at for each Item--not to worry about "not being there" yet where we were last year.  We're still receiving and organizing!  And please know, if you are sending in item(s) for a basket that is marked full, it's absolutely fine! We can always add it!  *********

Our 2018 BASKETS.  Right now, we have 39 baskets being worked on.  (Last year we had 40)  We'll put at the end of each Basket, how much help we are still hoping to get!

Don't see something that you've sent?  Do not worry!  We have a table with items that we are holding on to yet for placement!  We will get "there"--where we need to be for Catathon. Your support for this has been a HUGE GIANT help!  And remember---things can change and items moved to a different area. It's all good! 

In May, SonJa will be giving full descriptions of each entry. Jenny C will be taking pictures that will show everything.  This will all be posted in our website in plenty of time for you to check things out thoroughly! We'd love to have any items that you would like to send in, here at FFRC by May 17th.  This will help us get completely organized before SonJa and Jenny start their part.  Many many thanks!

Soon, we will also do a pre-registration for Catathon.  You do NOT need to pre-register but it sure helps us alot during the catathon (and helps you too!)  By pre-registering, this means the phone people do not have to get your complete info right then during the catathon. We can just check our pre-registration list for all of that! Saves time so we can do more calls!

Many thanks.....YOU are appreciated---

Here's what's happening today at FFRC--we will do BOXES at 3:00.  But.....we will have several interruptions!  We will have an adoption approximately at 3:30 and two at 4:00.  So, we will start/stop BOXES as needed!  And we will show you the adoptions as well.  We have a bunch of boxes---thank you very very much!  So, we will start a bit early and get them done before, between and after adoptions!  Bring a snack, put your feet up and enjoy!

Here's what's happening tomorrow---We will have another adoption in the morning! Iggy will be leaving us. Also, FFRC will be at our local Pet Supply PLUS from 11:00 to 1:00. We'll be meeting and greeting people and handing out FFRC inf plus info on spays/neuters!  A good day!
