Happy September to EFA!!!
September Charity of the Month; Dachshund
Rescue of North America; http://drna.org
Dachshund Rescue of North America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
with one sole purpose — rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing
needy dachshunds and mostly dachshund mixes. We are a network of experienced
rescue people throughout the United States and Canada who were previously
doing rescue independently and realized the benefits of joining together
and combining resources. Last year we placed 1009 dogs.

Donate Items to Help Wildlife Program
The Wildlife Learning Foundation has partnered with the Los Angeles
Unified School District for ten years, providing fun and educational
life science lessons in their Ready, Set, Go! (before school) and Youth
Development Program (YDP, after school) programs. We teach lessons crafted
to meet the California State Science Standards utilizing our collection
of rescued and zoo-born wildlife as silent instructors and living visual
aids. Due to recent budget cuts, there is no longer funding for our outreach.
However, we believe that our lessons are valuable to the students, inspiring
interest in science and giving positive experiences with animals and
nature.
On September 26th, we are hosting a benefit to raise money
to continue our outreach programs at no cost to the schools. We will
have animal encounters, tours, food, drinks, silent auction and raffle
tables. Any and all are welcome to attend! For any questions, contact
Christine http://PorcupineSnuggles.etsy.com or via email: porcupinesnuggles@yahoo.com
For more information on the Wildlife Learning Foundation, visit www.wildlifelearningfoundation.org
Donations for the silent auction/raffle can be sent to:

send you a revised invoice for 30 cents and email you the images upon
payment. If it has sold when you stop by my shop, it will be re-added
soon! If you make anything with it, I'd love to see your creations! Even
if you aren't sure if you will be using it soon, feel free to get it
now to try later :) I will be adding more printable items (such as thank
you notes to insert with your sales and more) for EFA members to my digitaldownload
shop soon; they will also be available for a small cost to cover fees.
I'll post an update to our Etsy forum thread and our Yahoo group when
I have them finished & stocked.
Thanks to everyone for all you do to help animals!"
