Fivers ($5) add up and will be a super bonus help to us! Or even a Oner!
Flacr stands for:
F--FUN-RAISER--so far we have cancelled 4 of these--March, April, May and June.
L--LILAC--the Defiance Lilac Festival in May was cancelled. We use that event as a PR and a fund-raiser
A--ART--One of our volunteers was going to hold a BIG art class, here at FFRC, cancelled
C--CATATHON--sadly, there was no way we could hold this event. 1) asking people to donate items for Catathon--too much financial stress already on our friends. 2) there was no way we could get this planned and hold this event while trying to keep safe and healthy.
R--RECITAL--our June Dance Concession Recital was cancelled. This was always a fund-raiser for FFRC.
So, there you have it. FLACR simply stands for all the fund-raisers we have had to cancel.
Please know I do not expect this Fiver to cover all of these cancelled fund-raisers. There's simply no way and I would never ever expect that. If we can recoup even some of the funds, that will be enough to be thankful for.
Then Friday----let the Fivers begin! I will, approximately every 2 hours give updates. And we'll show these on the chart. We will also put any donors names on cards that will go onto a rope "thingy" that LJ is working on, so all can see.
Oh--big news! Anyone who donates $50 or more, will have their name put into a bin. The winning name drawn will receive a BSIMB Digital Picture Frame, upgraded Digital Photo frame 8".
Plus, we will do 8 random drawings of whatever names we have at that time. We will send those 8 people a gift from FFRC! Pretty neat stuff!
We'll also have a bit of storytime on Friday. And of course, the cats and kittens have been bathing, napping to look rested, practicing their purrs--they heard that we will have some kitty/cat parades too during the event on Friday!
Be a FLACR for FFRC! We have had some vet appointments and many FFRC spays/neuters that this FIVER will help with. We have also put off some of our maintenance and repair. I don't like to get too far behind on that as it then piles up on us.

We had 3 more adoptions!
Tango was adopted on 6 /1. Tango went into his new home where he is the only cat--going to be super loved by his new mom and dad! Tango is a Minnie kitten.
Toolie was adopted 6/1. He went into a home with 2 other cats. Tollie arrived here with his sister Taffeta who is already adopted.
Davena was adopted 6/2. She went into a home where her new mama has been waiting for her and has her whole home set up for a kitten! Davena is a Minnie kitten.
We also took on a new kitten. He had been found in a yard. A home was thought to be had but it didn't work out, so he came to FFRC. His name is Otis, a Name a Cat name. He's a brown tiger and white and has a cute white tip tail! He's 6 1/2 weeks old with a birthday of 4/19/20. He arrived on 6/3. Since he was in a home already, we hurried his quarantine time so he could have some play friends. Otis came up to the main area this morning and has been running non-stop, playing and jumping and racing around. A real sweet boy.
Thanks to everyone for what you do for FFRC. Each and everyone of you are important to FFRC--you make a HUGE difference to the lives of the cats. For that, I am grateful. As always, I promise to always do my very best for FFRC--to withhold the goodness of what we stand for, to help each cat and kitten know that their lives matter.
On to being a FLACR!!
