Ways Members Can Help Support Colorado HRS
- Valerie
Agnew,
a
real
estate
agent
for
Metro
Brokers
Inc.,
and
Lisa
Reiersgaard
with
WR
Starkey
Mortgage,
have
offered
to
create
a
fundraising
partnership
with
the
Colorado
HRS.
When
Valerie
represents
you
on
the
purchase
of
a
new
home
or
the
sale
of
your
current
home,
she
will
donate
$500.00
to
the
Colorado
House
Rabbit
Society
when
you
close
the
sale.
Lisa
Reiersgaard
will
donate
$200.00
when
you
obtain
a
loan
through
WR
Starkey
Mortgage.
This
is
a
great
way
for
you
to
donate
to
the
Colorado
House
Rabbit
Society
without
spending
any
of
your
own
money.
You
will
benefit
by
having
experienced
real
estate
professionals
handle
your
affairs
and
the
Colorado
House
Rabbit
Society
will
benefit
through
their
generous
donation.
- We are
currently searching for someone
who would like to administer
a program in which donation
jars are placed in various
retail establishments. If you
work somewhere that we can
place a donation jar, please
contact Debby Schmidt at 970-690-0292
or debbysch@quixnet.net.
- We occasionally
receive requests from preschool
and grade school teachers asking
if we have someone who would
like to visit the school to
give a short talk about bunnies
as pets. Often times, the teachers
are flexible about day and
time for the visit. The visits
usually last between thirty
minutes and one hour. If you
would be interested, please
call Kay Fritzsche at: 303-770-5212
or email to: bunnyluvr123@aol.com.
- The Spring
Fling is June 21, 2003. It
will be held from 11:00 am
to 3:00 pm in the field at
the Broomfield location. We
are looking forward to this
event and promise that it will
be bigger and better than ever
before. We are looking for
volunteers to help in a myriad
of ways. We need people to
help plan activities, arrange
for the rental of tables/tents,
schedule volunteers to work
at the event, people to work
for an hour or two in a booth,
set up tables, tents, etc.
on the day of the event and
clean up afterwards. If you
can spare some time, we would
be very grateful. This will
be a wonderful opportunity
for you to meet other HRS members
and volunteers. Please contact
Bea VanHorn at 303-669-8962
or beavanhorn@comcast.net.
- Plant a
row for the bunnies: If you
plan on having a garden this
year, plant an extra row of
veggies that are especially
enjoyed by the foster bunnies.
They LOVE cilantro, red leaf
lettuce, radicchio and radish
tops.
- Save your
small, hard (not aluminum)
juice cans (cranberry and grapefruit
juices usually come in them).
These are used to make bunny
toys. Bring the clean cans
to the shelter or drop them
off at one of the Supply Pick
Up Points.
- We have
heard that organizations earn
money by collecting used printer
cartridges for recycling. If
you know the name of a company
who purchases these used cartridges,
please contact Kay Fritzsche
at 303-770-5212 or at bunnyluvr123@aol.com.
- Contact
your employer about matching
funds for the donations that
you give.
- Sign
up
at
www.Igive.com
and
shop
online
with
the
merchants
who
give
a
rebate
to
the
Colorado
HRS.
The
Colorado
HRS
earned
$224.00
in
the
last
18
months
with
only
16
members.
