You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I wrote about an idea I had to generate funds for Pug Dog Rescue. Well unfortunately the response was dire to say the least, in fact - out of 50 rescues I contacted only 3 replied. Those that did reply were very enthusiastic about the idea. Now whether this lack of response is due to disinterest or being bogged down with rescues I have no idea, but I really did need a few more people to "sign up" for this to make it a viable project to dedicate my time to. Needless to say, the project in the previously described form is cancelled I am afraid.

But, the Calendar to help rescues is going to be created as the... Rescued Friends of Denny and Charlie Calendar 2007 ...It's going to be a similar layout to the original idea, but submissions will be taken directly from individuals who have given forever homes to rescues.

Any funds generated by the calendar will be equally split and issued to all rescues nominated by submissions. I know this could be small rescues and large rescues - so the logistics of this still need to be worked out.

The bottom line is this, I want to do this - and I need your help. Please pass on the word - post a link to this on any forums, news groups and mailing lists you are a member of. Mail your friends and colleagues. We can make a difference you know… a couple of minutes at your keyboard can make a massive difference.

Just remember, the first time I did this I managed to raise over $900 - not bad for something that was not massively advertised. We can do this bigger and better this time with your help!

Please email me at richard [at] dennyandcharlie [dot] com if you want to help, or require any more information.

I will be producing a link banner in the near future to put on your websites; this will hopefully spread the word.

I have faith in you all; don't let me or those needy Pugs down!

Richard
