Big events coming up - the Walk-A-Thon in June and the Petfinder Shelter Challenge

DON'T FORGET!!!
The Animal Rescue Site, www.theanimalrescuesite.com is hosting a special challenge for rescue groups in Canada and the U.S.
The grand prize is a $10,000 grant, and they will be awarding many other grants to rescue groups with the most votes - a total of $100,000 in grants for animal welfare organizations.

Just go to the Animal Rescue site, click on the side tab 'Shelter Challenge',
or go to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces?siteId=3&link=ctg_ars_shelterchallenge_from_contestwinners_sidetabs

Some people have been confused by the process, so here it is step-by-step. It sounds more complicated than it really is. :o)

There will be a purple box in the middle of the screen. that says "Search and Vote for a Shelter"
The shelter name is "Project Jessie" and the country is "CAN" on the drop down menu. After you change the country, it take s a second and the "STATE" menu will change to "Prov", choose "ON" , the city is "Caledon"
Click on "SEARCH". Wait a second...
You get a new section underneath but inside the purple box that says the shlter name and has a button marked "VOTE"
Click "VOTE"
You are taken to a new screen where they show you a picture of an animal. You have to type the name of the animal in to confirm your vote. (So that clever people can't set up computer programs to vote for them all day long...) :o)

If you don't confirm your vote it will not count - so please be sure you have named the animal and pressed "enter" before you leave the site!

Once you have voted once, the same shelter name will come up every time you visit the site .
You can also sign up for daily email reminders.

Please ask family and friends to vote too! I don't think we have a hope of winning the big prize, but I am sure that we still have a good chance at one of the Canadian ones. Pass this message along and lets get clicking!

Also, by clicking on the purple button at The Animal Rescue Site, www.theanimalrescuesite.com you give food to an animal living in a shelter or sanctuary--at no cost to you. This only takes a few seconds. Please, click every day. To make this a breeze, you can select to have daily click reminders (left column under 'Free Ways to Help).

For your help, MANY thanks!
