FUND RAISING

[meroberts]

:idea: As a community service I have the privilege of serving as Treasurer of "AMIGOS DE LOS ANIMALES DE GUANAJUATO, INC.," :heart: (?AMIGOS?) but there is another group that is also close to my heart and that is "ARCO IRIS", a group that helps women in need. And of course Jacquie?s incredible work with the Cajones community. Please forgive me if I left anyone out. It is not my intention. Feel free to add your names.

I would like to start this thread with the intention to promote any activity that involves fund raising, in order to have a central place to make announcements in a central location of this Forum.

:heart: ?AMIGOS? publishes an article in Chopper an average of once or twice a month. The authors volunteer their talent in order to promote education about the care of pets in our community. Please visit our new website recently completed by Ashley Fell, www.amigosanimalgto.org where you will have the opportunity to donate via PayPal. Since we are a nonprofit corporation, the Internal Revenue Service has designated us a 501(3)c humanitarian organization. Donations are deductible from US federal taxes.

:angel: "ARCO IRIS.? Yesterday, I had the opportunity to purchase some wonderful lavender soap for $30 pesos a piece from Lori Wilson, who started the project. I understand you can also buy these from Colleen Cote at her English bookstore ?Donkey Jote.? These will help the women from ?El Bu?n Pastor? become self sufficient and gain self confidence to get out in the world and become independent. Some will get themselves and their children out of abusive homes. We all need help at one point or another in our lives and need to give back to society.

I encourage you all to get involved in humanitarian organizations. It is so rewarding.
