GIVING THANKS FOR A GREAT SATURDAY

Ollie, Marion and her granddaughter
Yesterday was day one of our Thanksgiving Cele-BRAY-tion and it was a wonderful day.  We had TEN sponsorships and lots of sales of Christmas cards and our brand new calendar featuring our beautiful and handsome donkeys.  And you should see the incredible baking that one of our members, Dalelyn made.  Cookies and bite sized cupcakes - even donkey shaped cookies.  Yummy.
The weather was lovely and promises to be just as good today.  I am on my way to the Refuge shortly to help with chores and then make hot chocolate.  I promised I will wash up after chores.
Thank you, thank you , thank you to everyone who attended yesterday for your enthusiasm about our donkeys and for your generosity.  Your investment in our donkeys' welfare ensures that we can continue our mission to rescue, rehabilitate and offer a permanent home to our amazing "beasts of burden".
Hope to see you out there today - hours are 11am - 3pm.  Check our website for easy to follow directions.  www.turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.com     If you can't make it out but would like to support us, we are promoting a monthly giving program.  Just $10 per month would help so much.
Again, a heartfelt thank you for everyone's support.  And from our donkeys, an enthusiastic HEE-HAW of thanks.
