just a reminder about the sponsoring of a table for the saints fall fundraiser...
Carol · Jun 2, 2010
sponsoring the cost of a table (venue, catering, printing, center peices, linens, dishes,..$200 per table) by a group or a business means the cost of the event goes down for us and more of the money that is brought in by the event can go directly to our vet accounts. folks who are too far away to attend can get a group of friends or their employers together to sponsor one of the tables dedicated to an animal of their choice...this helps all of the animals at saints. toss the idea around at work and with your friends and family...who knows?..if 20 people all chip in 10 bucks or 10 people chip in 20 bucks, or 40 people chip in 5 bucks, or even 200 people chip in 1 buck each...... another table for saints gets sponsored!
hey..some of the blog readers could ban together and create a blog sponsor table. it is all about using our imaginations and pooling our pennies together to meet a goal for the animals at saints!
i can spare 10 bucks for a blog sponsored table...anyone able to join me???
we all love these guys, but love ain't enough to keep them happy and well. if we do not get some serious money down on our vet accounts, everyone here is going to be in big trouble.
leila is going to re-post the poster for me so folks can print them off and spread them around.
Wow within less than 24 hours we have had a great response and now in whole or part 19 out of 19 tables are sponsored!! INCREDIBLE. You are the best blog readers ever! There are some tables which need some more contributions so if you or your friends still want in just say so in the comments. Due to popular demand we have taken away a limit on the table amount .... so you can contribute to your heart's content. The Table "anima(s)" are not set in stone so get creative, negotiate with your fellow co-sponsors to get an animal you want in the table or to combine some table ... have fun! (Jenn).

*TABLE TRADING*
(post your offers/suggestions in the comments and I--Jenn--will summarize here for others to look and shop around with)
KO wants to give saints $50 if the Ducks and the Chickens can have a table ... how about Rock join his friends the FeLV cats (so far one blog contributor is ok with this) OR look the Bunny Table could use some more money ... maybe they could unite and create an "anti-easter day" table.
**ATTENTION TAMMY RE: The Pheobe has no table conspiracy
oh now TAMMY is quite desperate to get a certain Red Whirling Wonder at a table ..
here are 4 options I present:
1. change the table to a table for KODI and PHEOBE … perhaps a MISFITS or MISUNDERSTOOD table or
2. as I personally have seen pheobe on the bed once (and have a picture to prove it … in fact. Here look I put one on a recent blog post http://www.saintsrescue.ca/wordpress/?p=7636. (Kodi and her were arguing about it) … can pheobe be with Kodi and the bed buddies? Kodi's Bed Buddies and a Pheobe Table
3. Pheobe could join Frodo's table in some way ... hmmm he is the meanest cat and she is the meanest dog ... YES it is the MEAN but we love 'em table... although lana thinks that they could be joined together by an affinity for the same food. I eat Frodo's food table
4. Pheobe could join Al's table .. It could be the We don't like eachother but we like Tammy table or the Tammy plays ball with us table.
**HINT** if you really, really want a table for someone special Sheila (our event chair) still has not choosen her animal host ... but knowing her as a pro saints fundraiser ... she can easily be swayed by your cheque books. Perhaps your dollars could make her see the cents ... i mean sense of having your favorite for her table.
Mauro is looking for company for her "Little Miss Molly" table ... what about an OLDest ancient SAINTS table: Molly (the oldest dog at 19) .. Gideon could come over here (if Lory ... I mean if he wanted to) ... we could add Stripe (oldest cat at 23) ... some suggestions
Carol thinks we should have a pain in the ass table which would include: kodi, perdy, jesse, phoebe, reggie, esther, JOEY, the pissing fruit loop bastards, CONAN the dryer hose wrecking BARBARIAN cat, sidney (the pinky and the brain little innocent looking monster bunny) and squirt who pees on all the other dogs! Colleen B thinks JOEY should not be on this list ... he should be on a table for the CUTE DOGS ... and maybe Tammy could get phebs at that table ... if it existed. oooo snap. ... and Jerry is a given for any meany or pain in the ass table
Cathie K--founder of the Dixie Chick Table ... is willing to let any saint join who embodie's Dixie's wild spirit ...
FYI Pheobe says: I should get my own table because you put me in this stoopid cheetah coat ... no but seriously I should be in on a BEEN AT SAINTS 5 years + table .. hello permanent sanctuary dog here ... who is tableless. Shame on you!
Jenn . . . no kidding; but each and every one of them make our SAINTS experience what it is and they should all be honored.
