Thank you for helping Furry Friends Network cross the finish line at its 2008 Race for Their Lives. On September 20, 2008, approximately 135 humans and their 50 canine companions came out to raise money and awareness for the plight of homeless animals in our community. Thanks to your generous support, Furry Friends Network raised $13,862 towards the continuation of its life saving mission. We never could have done it without you, and want you to know how very truly grateful we are for your generosity. In these uncertain economic times, we realize donation dollars are getting smaller, but sadly the number of stray animals and those being surrendered by their families is at an all time high. Rescues and shelters are overflowing and medical and food expenses are escalating. Please know your help came at a crucial time and the support is truly appreciated by the volunteers of Furry Friends Network, and especially by the animals whose lives you have saved. May God bless you for giving so much and for the best gift you could have given - the gift of life!

Let's hope FFN's 5th Annual Strikes for Strays is as big of a hit. Please mark your calendars for Sunday, February 22, 2009! The event starts @ 12:00 p.m. with lunch and 1:00 p.m. bowling at Trindle Inn Bowl, Mechanicsburg. Lots of fun, food and prizes!! Tell your friends and family this is a wonderful event in which to participate. Not only will you have fun, but you will be bowling to save the lives of helpless, homeless animals. The planning committee is forming now, so if you would like to be a part of the planning process, please email furryfriendsnet@aol.com
