    Thanks to everyone who showed up today, Norm, Drake, Mia, Buckeye And Angus Cormac.  all of us together raised an additional $167.61 For Whisker Rescue, I thank all of the people who came out to help participate in this event, with out that Help it would not have happened.

     

    Due to the seeming lack of Interest in the fundraiser this time Shadow and I were wondering how many people would like to see it continue beyond this time or if we should just call it quits?  I would like the opinion of everyone that has attended this event in the past for feed back.  Thanks!  🙂

    This month was definitely lacking in attendance from what I heard and from conversations we had on the side…Personally, I do not want to see this event go away.  Again, this month was lacking, but I am sure other factors were at play and I hope this does not become a pattern.

    I am going to suggest that when next December is near, we try to advertise this early.  With it out there early, we can spark interest earlier and get people excited for it.

    I am also more than willing to work with you on this next time, if you two decide to do this again.  🙂

    I’m basically going to echo Drake on this. I think there were a circumstances that caused attendance to be lower. Short notice (people couldn’t get time off), schedule changes/cancellations (you couldn’t really control that), election, first decent weekend of the spring etc.

    I’d say plan on organizing it again in December , we did pretty good then, and see how it goes.
