I know I would forget someone and how could I do that??? Val Harrington designed the gorgeous fliers that went out with our mailing; she was instrumental in designing our brochure also....thank you Val from the bottom of my heart. I will be happy to send a flier if we missed you; it may be by email; just send me a private note....:-) Pat Lukos Weeping Willow 2nd Chance German Shepherd Sanctuary _http://weepingwillowgsdsanctuary.com/_ (http://weepingwillowgsdsanctuary.com/) In a message dated 12/3/2010 1:45:52 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, SARAVAGSD@xxxxxxx writes: It seems I am always coming here to beg for help for the senior and medically needy GSD sanctuary dogs; we are busy preparing for the winter months, yes, even with the snow falling today and blustery winds we are putting roofs over outdoor kennels that didn't get finished until we were able to get more donated material or get it at a reasonable price. You have been so good to us but we are in need of one more large wire crate for the 2nd dog room....this would house a big male (and we get them-LOL)...size needed (approximate) 36"Wx53"Lx43"H....this gives the dogs room to move around comfortably when it is subzero weather and they are confined a lot of time in the house. Many of you may not know but all 20 (5 in foster care) are only out in kennel runs for short times in the cold and wet weather or when the summer heat gets bad; all other times they are in these large crates in the a/c in two dog rooms; each with their toys, chews, etc. They are walked and exercised several times every day if not able to be in their runs. They have their kuranda beds in the house and also some in the large 10x12 or 12x12 covered kennel runs. A Christmas fund raising mailing has gone out to many of you; we didn't have the funds to send to everyone but we had many generous people donate more brochures, fliers, stamps, and envelopes. No fundraising money is spent on overhead....AGSRA and LHSH has helped with some of our medical bills and the Sun Shine Squad is there for us too. We deeply appreciate all you do for us. If you would like to make a Christmas donation it can be sent to: Weeping Willow 2nd Chance German Shepherd Sanctuary 2469 Hewitt Gifford Rd SW Lordstown OH 44481 or paypal to: _WWGSSanctuary@xxxxxxxx (mailto:WWGSSanctuary@xxxxxxx) The 20 grizzled and gray faces and feeble bodies are so special to all of us here at the Sanctuary; they have such wonderful personalities and are grateful for anything we do or the presents they receive. Sally Hayden is working tirelessly on sweatshirts for us and the info will be posted in a day or so....they are gorgeous as always and thanks goes to Sherry Nolan for the sweat shirt donation and Sally's sewing !!
