| Okay, so I know it has been ages since I have posted on here, but I am working on things! This is what I can tell you: 1. Carmen George as well as A. Egan are working on designing our logo. Nothing has come into fruition as of yet, but the moment it does I will be posting a few ideas on here and we will put it to a vote. Hey, if I don't agree with you I'll just cheat  2. Steven Hobson of SDHMEDIA has offered his services to create our website. Hopefully this will lead to a more streamlined blog as well as newsletter mailout. 3. The Articles of Incorporation are filled out and sitting in an envelope. Just waiting for money to magically appear in my bank account so I can send them away. 4. Forms for Charity Status are waiting for me to be inspired to write some long winded, paragraph length, really eloquent BS. Hahaha. I'm trying, I'm trying. Life is so busy in spring.
The trees are budding and bursting into life, the perennials are showing their little heads, baby deer are standing in the mist, canker worms are already green and dangling.
Enjoy the spring and enjoy eachother! | | |
| Thanks to my wonderfully thoughtful bestest boy-friend Jonny, Witaskiwin Sanctuary received its first ever donation. Here's to many many more! | | |
| APRIL 29, 2007

Witaskiwin Sanctuary!

| This is a wishlist of sorts. Anyone who feels that they can offer any of these services, please please please contact me at karmyhnj@hotmail.com. -Business Plan Assistant. (An Individual who will scrounge the internet, libraries, etc., to find certain pieces of information for the Business Plan. This person will work directly with me, Karmyhn.) -Grant Co-Ordinator. (Someone who will research any grants that Witaskiwin can apply for and find all necessary documents that need to be filled out and submitted. This person will work directly with me, Karmyhn.) -Fundraising Assistant. (A person who will work at coming up with ideas, budgets and contacts to create a fundraising binder. This will be used so that when the first chance comes to put something into action, we have a planned list of events. This person will work directly with Catie.) -Logo Designer. (Someone proficient with computer design who will come up with a fabulous logo!!) -Contact Generator (Someone who will get on top of the mailing list and find contacts both small and large. This should include both Volunteer contacts as well as Business contacts. This person will work directly with Jenelle.) Experience is necessary. Whether it be in writing, research, fundraising etc. If you are not able to help with any of the above, don't worry!! There are a ton more positions that are just as important! | | |
| When my partner Catie and I met nearly 8 years ago, she was an avid meat eater and swore that she would ALWAYS eat meat. Joke was on her when she met me. I am an argumentative person and I made her see the error of her ways  . She became a vegetarian a few years back after "meeting her meat" and realizing that a cow is a pig is a dog is a life. She could no longer look at meat and see food, but death instead. I was so proud that not only she made that realization, but also that I made her see it. You don't think that you being a vegetarian makes a difference, but meat eaters consume 59 animals a year. They contribute to the death of 59 animals. By changing just ONE person, I saved 59 lives.
So, after becoming a vegetarian and sticking with it for a few years, she has realized that vegetarianism, while noble and a step, is not the ultimate goal in helping animals. On May 1st, 2007 Catie will be joining me on her life journey as a vegan! I, again, am so proud of her. From a meat eater to a caring vegan consumer in just 8 short years. If only more could make such a change. We, our pets, and soon to be our children (once born, hahaha) will all contribute to a utopian society that could be possible. I hope you can all consider making such a change. The animals will thank you for it. | | |
