Father John's Animal House, Jan-Apr '12

Our first fundraiser for 2012 will be in support of our local no-kill animal shelter just a few minutes from our Camp Sacajawea campsite.  Father John’s Animal House (formerly Sussex County Fellowship for Animals), is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization supported entirely by donations, grants, and various fundraising events. They receive no federal, state, county, or municipal funding.  Their self proclaimed primary purpose is to provide love, companionship, shelter, food, socialization, and medical care for the many unwanted animals that come to us until permanent, loving homes can be found for them.

In addition to raising money, I will be accepting Dog and Cat food donations for the January, February, March and April KR events.  

Please give as much as you can.  These are good people doing a nice thing just to help abandoned, unwanted animals or animals they rescue from kill shelters.

Prizes:

1st prize: Esavar's Dagger – “Nightblade”

Description: A curved dagger with arcane ruins carved on the blade. Esavar was a rogue of some renown, so much so that dozens of rogues would compete to be his apprentice. His skill and demand for perfection were such that he only took one such apprentice at a time. It was said that once apprentices proved themselves, he sometimes gave the most promising rogues in his fellowship trinkets or weapons that would aid them in their jobs for his guild.

This blade counts as a +2 dagger that strikes for magic. It will allow its wielder to do the following:

Will any type of food do?

I know my dog(we got her from an orange county shelter of similar nature) grew up on Science Diet and they suggested only getting that to not vary her food. Anything like that that the shelter recommends? Or is it just, any type of dog/cat food will do?

I would also recommend that we get pictures of some of the critters looking for homes at the shelter to post here and at the table on site.

Conor: Any food will do.

Diane:  Picture of alot of dogs and some cats can be found on their link. 

They had alot to choose from at the shelter if anyone is interested.  If you visit them, say you are a KR player and show suport!

Where do we give it to you?

Before each event, I or one of my marshals sell raffle tickets for the current fundraiser in Logistics.

Feel free to drop off food donations when you stop by to buy raffle tickets. ; )
