1. Start NOW
2. Gather up as many Michigan returnable pop bottles or cans that you possibly can
3. Bring them with you on the day of the reunion
4. Let us know at the registration table that you have them
We will count them. The person that brings the most returnable cans / bottles to the reunion is the winner! Take home your wonderful prize for your furkid
See, it is relatively simple and painless on your part
Feel free to get a little competitive here and post how many cans / bottles you have accumulated prior to the reunion! Let the competition begin!!!

You must have heard me sweat. It cost ME over $3500 to heat all this last winter. It sure would help. I have been saving change all year and have about $200 to drop into the kids account. And probably another $50 in cans at this point. I am worrying about winter.
Arda has 3 propane tanks to fill every year. There have been times when she went without food and heat so the dogs could be warm, fed and safe. With the price of fuel this year anything we can do to help lower Arda and SCD heating costs would give her that much more to save ,and feed a few more.
Thank You Twodognight for a easy fundraiser. I'll be more than happy to let Arda take the empties back. I'l drink'um and she can cash'um in.

On reunion morning load up your vehicles with all those cans,
but please save room for your dobes.
All you beer drinkers think of the kids (as in fur kids) and drink more beer.
In my drinking days any excuse would do.
The other neat thing about this is I volunteered Kevin to help.
Can you see him in the middle of a pile of about 5000 cans?
Talk about a good picture...
PS: We are hoping to place a receptacle of some type at SCD to collect your
cans so that any time you are there you can donate.

Okay, I can do that. Start a new bag from here on out.
I just wanted to make sure I got this right.
Right?

All we are asking is that if you use money rather than bringing in bottles it comes solely from bottle returns to make it fair to everyone involved. No cheating by slipping in some extra cash. Save the extra cash for auction items

4 kids, a couple of Dobes, and 10 garbage bags of beer cans - I can imagine the officer's reaction...although if he/she had kids and/or dogs it seems like they'd understand....Oh you want us to donate the cans......I am sitting here laughing......

I am going to take in the cans, and get a receipt of the pounds and money for the donation, much easier for me.
Next problem is--Keeping Tessa's nosey nose out of the food for 2 hours!!!! I am sure she would happily "guard" it for everyone

Great idea !I'm not sure if any of you have noticed jugs at local stores for different people with problems and charities - why not make a few - I can get plaastic containers with lids from work and decorate them - and place them in various places - I know of 3 places that will let me put them up for sure (Katie's Korner ice cream place, the party store by me and 7-11 for sure). I can also find a few other places that might be willing (friends that own businesses). Anyone interested pm me and I will try to have them all put together by the reunion. I'm gonna make a few and put them out now and see what I can get before the reunion! I can also have another friend put one up at Mazda and empty it every Friday and drop it off to me. I know that last 3 buckets we had at the party store collected close to 500.00 in a few short months!!! Whose up for that - and the challenge is on for the pop cans - I'm sending flyers out to everyone in our neighborhood and the one across the street for bottle!!! See you all there!
We have yellow, hard plastic doggie banks at many of the businesses, gas stations, restaraunts etc.
They're right by the check outs.
Every little bit o' change adds up.

Coming along and then today at work, one of my co-workers said she had tons of them to bring to me Friday, so will have to get those counted out. That was a nice surprise to get that news.How is the can collection coming everyone?????? Inquiring minds would like to know
I won't be coming to the reunion, so will have to tally the amounts and send a check.
