Hello all.
As Zoohio mentioned early, someone who was unable to make an exhibit was willing to make an actual cash donation to either the red cross, humane society or AZA in the amount equaling the # of exhibits.
Well, that someone is me and I appreciate Zoohio's discretion in the matter...I'm just not very good with words so I wanted him to do it. *grins*
So yes... this is my offer and plea: Even though I am a poor college student (and trust me, I am) I can't forget the help my state got last year after our hurricanes hit...and we weren't hit half as hard the Lousiana.
I really thought Zoohio's idea for the Katrina quilt was awesome, but I really don't have time to create an exhibit...and I wanted to do more, but couldn't figure out what.
So... this is what I came up with:
For every animal *species* (as in, tiger, lion, etc. NOT number if individuals, cause that'd be crazy) that is signed up for at the end of the quilt zoo, I will donate $1 to the HUmane Society. I chose the Humane Society, because most people are donating to the Red Cross and I think the animals tend to get forgotten in situations like this. Also, all of the zoo's in the area are doing fairly well so I don't think the AZA needs it as much as the Humane Society might.
I made the decision to do it for every animal species because the #of maximum species in ZT2 is still a number I can handle, but I think is a good, "hearty" contribution.
So please, put in at least one. If everyone helps out and between Zoohio's own contribution, I think we can make a real difference.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
