Make A Difference Monday

 Recently, The COPA Reefers played a private party. The hosts were raising funds for the http://www.okhumane.org/">The Central Oklahoma Humane Society and were quite successful!

This organization took in animals from Moore, where the big tornado flattened homes and schools. Animals were lost, scared, injured, and displaced. The little sweeties were taken in and fed until they were united with their owners. A friend of mine had his son reunited with his dog. The hosts raised over $1000 and some of that was in gas cards. They use foster homes to are for most of the animals. 

I have a big heart for animals but could not imagine being a foster home for them. How difficult would it be to take a pet into your home, love and care for them, and let them leave? My heart would probably break and I don't have the space for extra pets. I don't have extra money to give or extra space but I'm excited to share this organization with you.

 These two sweeties have stolen my heart and taken over my home. But they pay me back in loads of love. It's a fair deal.

Dear Bloggy Friends,
Whenever possible it is good to give back to your community. Find your passion and volunteer with it. I enjoy too many hobbies to count (oops.) On occasion, I can be found volunteering at an art gallery or I have taught piano lessons to under-priviledged children. I have plans to crochet scarves for the needy and someday I hope to learn how to make hats (round seems too hard at the moment.) I love animals but could never volunteer with them. If an opportunity came to run a race or volunteer at an auction, I would happily oblige. There's never a shortage of opportunities.

The only problem I have discovered is many of these fabulous non-profits need money. A lot of money. I never have enough for myself (in my own opinion.) I also am not interested in calling people for money or any other type of fundraising. The good news is I can do what I like and it still provides assistance to worthy organizations.

Please tell me what you have done or would like to do. Its always fun to share ideas. I decided it would be fun to change my blog design a little. What do you think?
