| FML Card Exchange The FML Card Exchange is a great way for ferret owners to come together, make new friends and share ferret related stories and pictures. Throughout the year, there are card exchanges on holidays or special events. Those that choose to signup for an exchange are then given reasonably sized list of others that chose to be involved, and then they send out a greeting card, a letter, pictures or anything else they wish to share with each person on the list. The Card Exchange is also a great way to raise money for Support Our Shelters. If you choose, you can include a dollar or two in the card you send to Robin Jones. She puts all the dollars together and makes sure SOS gets the money and that it goes to help shelter ferrets in need. A donation is not required to participate in the Card Exchange, but if you would like to help out, please make checks payable to SOS. Remember, your donation it tax-deductible! The FML Card Exchange is run by Robin Jones, SOS member. Questions and comments regarding the exchange should be sent directly to Robin. Any questions or comments regarding the SOS website or the notification email list should be sent to Sharon, Webmaster for SOS. Many thanks to Judy Cooke for creating the FML Card Exchange in November of 2000 and running it until the time she moved on to other projects to help with ferrets, in the Summer of 2005. If not for Judy this boon to ferrets everywhere would not exist. Judy has now retired from the ferret community but the many wonderful projects she started live on and continue to help ferrets. Thanks goes to Joanne who ran the exchange for several years and now to Robin for taking it over to give Joanne a needed break. Also thanks go to Jen at the Hidey-Hole for hosting the Card Exchange until it was moved to the SOS site for the 2009 Exchanges. Be sure to signup below to join any FML Card Exchanges or join the Reminder List to receive reminders about upcoming exchanges! Join in on the fun and help to make this year even more successful! |

| SOS Thanksgiving Card Exchange Dear Ferret Friends, It's time again for the SOS Thanksgiving Card Exchange. In the past the Thanksgiving Card Exchange has been in honor of ferret shelters and the dedicated people who run them. Because the Card Exchange participation is down, it would be difficult to it as it has been done in the past. So this exchange will still be dedicated to ferret shelters, but this year we are going to do something a bit different. When people sign up, and instead of putting their own name up, they would put up the name of their favorite shelter. The one stipulation is that the shelter must be on the SOS shelter list. SOS Shelter List When the lists go out, that shelter would get the cards rather than the people. At the end of the exchange, I will draw a name from the shelters that you selected, and that shelter would be the lucky winner of that card exchanges donations. Please come join us. Let's show the shelter operators how much we appreciate everything thing they do for ferrets. Deadline to sign up is Friday November 18th. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the SOS Halloween Card Exchange. I think this was the best exchange this year. The cards were over the top. I loved all the little goodies, the pictures of ferrets that were included, and I even got a poop paddle (figure that one out). It was so much fun. The mail man thinks I am demented because I sit at the mail box and giggle at my mail.
AND! you donated more money to this exchange than any other exchange this year. You contributed a whopping $310.00 to the SOS general fund. That's amazing!!! Do you hear all those little ferrets yelling thank you to you?
For those of you that have already signed up, please email me again to verify. I don't want you to miss out on all the fun. Support Our Shelters appreciates your kindess and generosity. Thank you Robin Jones |
