Barb,
I sent an email, perhaps you did not get it. Please contact me directly and give me information as how I can get you some funds for the clinic.

: Hi neighbors, we are counting every peso that
: we have for the clinic and it just isn't
: enough. The clinic is free -- but it
: doesn't happen for free. We rely on
: donations and without them we are not able
: to continue.
:
: Judith sent out some personal letters to
: past contributors and we have gotten a few
: donations -- but not enough unfortunately.
:
: We got housing donated for the visiting vets
: from the Dunbar's-- what a wonderful
: donation! We also received two large bags
: of sheets and towels from the Parker's -
: something we never have enough of! Thank
: you!
:
: But, we still need to pay for all the drugs
: and surgical supplies and the salaries of
: the vets. Some of you may not know that we
: no longer rely on volunteer vets because l)
: it was hard to come up with the money to fly
: them here and put them up and 2) because it
: was hard working within their schedules.
:
: We began partnering with Molly Fisher's
: PEACE organization about two years ago.
: They have on staff full time vets and go
: from town to town doing these clinics all
: year.
:
: Each pueblo is responsible for providing
: EVERYTHING except the actual surgery. We
: need many more volunteers than we've had in
: the past. Animals have to be checked in,
: caged, vitals tracked, cages cleaned between
: usages, several people must be in the
: recovery section to help the animals as they
: come out of the anesthesia and then we must
: transport the animals back home. Each day
: there is a mountain of laundry and at the
: end of the clinic we must thourougly clean
: the facility to ensure the Senior citizens
: will be motivated to continue allowing us to
: use the facility.
:
: Your donations pay not only for the clinic
: but also to aid animals in the pueblo in
: need through the year. We try to do the
: clinics twice a year (spring and fall).
:
: I know most of you appreciate that Betty and
: Judith's efforts have all but eliminated the
: sorry looking animals scrounging for food
: and delivering litter after litter of
: unwanted cats and dogs. There has been a
: huge improvement -- but left untended, we
: will revert to where we were 10 years ago --
: sick and injured homeless animals wandering
: the streets.
:
: Please, if you think this project is
: worthwhile, look at the list below and tell
: us if you can help.
:
: Volunteers - 1/2 day or full day -- we'll
: take what we can get of your time
:
: Cash Donations -- we'll make it easy for
: you. We can accept via paypal, your
: property manager or send a pledge email to
: me at hartinsanjose@hotmail.com and I will
: put up the money and collect it from you
: when you return to SP.
:
: Old towels, sheets, etc -- they can be
: delivered to me at Casa Obelisco OR tell
: your staff to contact me at 258-4315 and
: tell me where I can pick them up.
