Thanks for posting Jojo. I still have all the funds that were donated for the raffle basket, so as soon as Diane returns my email I'll go out and purchase the basket items and post pics Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, we still need $20 in donations for the treat basket for their raffle. I would prefer that all donations be made through paypal. It only takes a few minutes to set up an account and its quite simple to use. Thanks everyone!

Got in touch with Diane. She said raffles will start sometime next week. She will be emailing me with more info soon. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far! We still have $20 in donations left to go. This donation of a raffle basket will cost very little for who ever donates, but should help to generate ALOT of money for the funding of this natural area enclosure for these shelter ferrets.

Giuli,
If we're still $20 short, can we re-think the treat basket. This is what we were looking at giving:
1 bag of PoGOS Mouse Treats $7.95 1 bag of PoGOS Rabbit Treats $7.95 1 package of Totally Ferret Bits $5.99 1 package of Dogswell Happy Hips Treats $6.99 1 package of Beefeaters Liver Treats $5.99
Since many ferrets don't like liver, let's remove the liver treats. And if we take out the totally ferret bits (which can be bought anywhere), that's a gift basket of $23, and we'd only be $7 short. Maybe Diane can put some crocheted eggs or toys of some sort into the basket to round it off some for us.
I'd like to donate a little more, but I'd also like to take part in the raffle. Maybe Diane can give the people who helped put the donations together a couple of free raffle tickets?

Thanks so much for your donation, Gina!
We've reached all the funds needed for the gift basket! I will post pics of the basket once I get all the treats together.

I've tried contacting Diane a few times about the HF treat basket. I havent recieved any response. I emailed her again today. Hopefully she will respond. In the mean time, here is a link where you can check on the raffle (our basket is not yet in this raffle. I still need Diane to respond to me about it), the construction, and how much funds have been raised. I am VERY excited for these shelter babies! fgrh.org/
