Default JUNE 2014 Mission-Cards For A Cause

2014 Cards For A Cause
JUNE MISSION
Stamp from the Heart!


ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED:
Forgotten4Paws

Description of Organization:
Description of Organization: Forgotten 4-Paws is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), volunteer-run organization concerned with the welfare of all animals. Though our main focus is animal welfare, we also rescue abandoned, neglected and stray cats and dogs, with the help of caring foster families (as we have no "shelter" of our own), and adopt them into loving, forever homes. To date, we have helped over 5,000 animals find the happily-ever-after endings they so desperately deserved. www.forgotten4paws.org


CONTACT PERSON:
Teresa - va.sunshine


Referred by:
Fellow SCSer-Maggie, StampinCatMom

TYPE OF CARDS REQUESTED:

Mainly thank you (used to send to adopters, volunteers, and people who donate), but can also use get-well, or general hello/thinking of you cards. Although while the majority of our rescues are cats, we do get some dogs, so both cat- and dog-related cards are welcome.

SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS:

Please leave space inside for us to write a note, and please provide envelopes.


MAILING ADDRESS:
Please mail cards to...
Lesa Branam
4487 Christina Lane
Gahanna, OH 43230


For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not.
This months challenge is to use stripes on your card. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC16 so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this months gallery C4AC16 click here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link.
Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge

Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!


Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of October!

Once you have mailed them come back to us here and let us know they have gone postal!


Thank YOU!

I am looking forward to making cards for Forgotten 4-Paws this month! I love to see when a match is made and a "forever family" is found for an animal that has been abused or neglected. They seem to turn out to be the most loving companions! I am happy to be able to help.

Love this cause! Call me crazy, but I do think that animals that are rescued are truly grateful and show their appreciation in so many ways. And the people that rescue them and find loving homes for them? There is definitely a special place in Heaven for them! I'll be donating!

Well, the camera didn't do it justice, but here is my submission for the Optional Challege to use stripes in a card. I like it because the paw can be for either a cat or dog!

I had to borrow a stamp set this month, as the only pet I have stamps for is birds. We just got a puppy, so I better change that! Always glad to help our furry friends. Ten cards going to the post office tomorrow.
