Hi Guys... The application for "Extreme Home Make Over" for K & E has been completed...
Just one more thing:
I need a volunteer to get a draft of the petition done. Any takers?? I have to go into the office, but only briefly, and the goal is to move on this as fast as we can.
After that, the petition will be circulated, and I will be needing individual e-mails for online signatures to get this in ASAP.
If at all possible, it would be ideal to overnight this by Wednesday.
Thanks in Advance,
Rose

What goes into the petition? Does it have to be paper or can it be one of those online Petitions?

i'm not good at writing petitions but count me in to sign it! i will force the other half to, and i'm sure i can get my mom and a few other family members to sign.
I really love this Idea! the FH isn't thrilled because i told him i would use my week vac to head up there and volunteer. he just rolled his eyes. he loves ferrets too but i think he just thinks i'm crazy on how deeply i care for animals.

I think someone who is one of the closest people to FN and MN should write it. They need to explain all they have done in great detail and what has happened as well what they have done even since they lost their house and shelter, and write of how brave they are. I would write something, but I honestly don't know them as well as i should.

PS If someone writes a draft, I will check it out and make edits if anyone needs help. I am an ex-English major if that gets me brownie points. You can PM me and I'll give you my email address, if you'd like.

Thanks guys...I can write, but I have SO many things going on that there is NO WAY I can fit it in-there are STILL phone calls to return from other shelters all over the country that I have not gotten to yet. I find myself losing track of time...
I had a patient waiting for me today at 11:30. I actually THOUGHT it was 10:30. Thankfully, he is a long time patient who sent K & E a donation and knew what happened.
My boss was cool too...
Fizzle has done her research and we're on the way...

Sorry guys... I missed this post; it's pretty far down on the list and I have been staying at the top of the posts. I don't know why; just weird I guess.
Anyway, please let me know if I can help with any of this. I am a Marketing Major and my expertise lies within writing and proofreading. That's my secret...that's why I can push for donations. I have a lot of experience with fundraisers, trade shows, print materials, bulletins, PR, etc. Keith knows my secret and that's why he puts me on the donations function. So....to make a long story short...I would be more than happy to help.
Rose, I'm going to PM you later tonight because I'm working on some other things for "Project Rebuild" and I want to share and compare notes with you. I also wrote to one of the electronic newswire pubs and asked them for the photos of the fire as well as permission / rights to use them in other materials. I was able to download the photos that the Leader posted and if I don't hear back from the other pub, I will just use the Leader photos and pray that they don't sue me.
I really wanted to talk to you yesterday but that was just impossible. I spoke to Graham more than I spoke to you. And by the way...he is such a sweetheart. He was so understanding and supportive. He even took the time to meet Karen and he kept her company whenever I ran back to swap out a fuzzie.
Nice work Riki!! Gotta love those Internet "Research People". I like to pick their brains. I will also keep you, Matt , and Rita in the loop. Do you know Rita's screen name?
Also, to all...I did the FNFR brochure back in November so if anyone wants it for use of making flyer's for local pet store postings or for an explanation of what they do, etc., just send me a PM and I will forward it to you. It is a tri-fold brochure so if you plan on doing a flyer, you will have to pick it a part and make a condensed version. The only thing I suggest is that you let one of us to take a look at it before you post it anywhere. Even I still get Keith's approval on anything that I do for the rescue. He is very good about promoting the rescue and he always lets me do whatever I think will help, but it is always a good idea to get permission. I just have to change the phone number on the brochure before I send it to anyone.

Nice! I also wanted to say that this can be signed by anyone world wide. I know there are members from other countries... and the way i see it is this: no matter how close or how far you are, a friend of any fuzzie is a of Father Nature's and vs. versa. Any supporters of Father Nature's are encouraged to sign the petition no matter where they are located... i believe the show is aired all over the place isnt it??

I will be signing the petition for sure. I agree with Joclyn a link to Father Nature's site would be really good and maybe the article with pictures of the fire if allowed. I would like to post the petition to some ferrets forums and am not sure what I would say. Would I explain that we are aiming for Extreme Home Makeover to rebuild their home and shelter and in order to make that possible the petition needs to be signed? Is there a deadline for the petition? Also if the goal of 500 is reached quickly (which I think it will) will you push for more signatures to the people veiwing the petition will know how great FN and MN are? Please let me know the details ASAP so I can get the word out.

Do people have to put in their address? Someone was iffy about signing the petition because of that.
