Here's an easy way to help Sparky's Pals!
============
Last month, we tried something new to help Sparky's Pals and all the causes listed at iGive. It worked better than
we ever expected. We donated over $5,000 in less than 24 hours, so we're going to try it again!
It requires your participation, but it is free and definitely easy.
For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one qualified web search on our
site between now and noon Thursday, we'll give Sparky's Pals a dollar.
5,000 new members, $5,000. No purchase necessary. That's 5,000 new members for all causes, not just
yours, so it's a bit of race.
Of course, if these new members search more (or buy something at an iGive store) they'll earn even more
money for Sparky's Pals. Right now, we're donating a special $.02 per search and a
bonus $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage.
Here's where you come in. The only way Sparky's Pals will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more)
is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a
Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think
Sparky's Pals is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free! You can even just forward
this e-mail.
This is the link:

We're really proud of our search capability, powered by Yahoo! We've made tons of improvements over the
past five months, so we want lots of people to try it out and put it to the test. If they keep on searching or
shopping after testing us out, so much the better for Sparky's Pals.
The details:
- Offer active between now and 11:59 a.m., January 21, 2010 (Chicago time).
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously). All the normal rules of membership, searching, and
purchasing apply, our site has the details.
- Once we've given away $5,000 in total, the offer ends.
- The special link is important. No link, no qualified web search, no $1.
That's it. Don't forget to try our search yourself (http://isearch.igive.com). You may need to login first.
Yours,
Robert N. Grosshandler
Founder

We were working with one of our Scouts on her Silver Award project this afternoon. It was a lot of fun, mainly because it's almost done!
We have a meeting today with one of our Scouts who is getting ready to complete her Silver Award project!
We're looking forward to another Girl Scouts Pets Interest Project Workshop this weekend. We had 31 attendees registered at last count.
We're at Canine Commissary on Garland Road today from 10 am - 2 pm, with Animal Allies of Texas!
We'll be at Unleashed (5151 Samuell Blvd, Dallas, TX 75228) this afternoon with Animal Allies of Texas. Drop by!
Updated: The cause has raised $100.
Sparky's Pals will be with Animal Allies for a low-cost vaccination clinic at the Sachse Animal Shelter (6436 Sachse Road in Sachse) on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10am - 2pm.
We have a volunteer meeting this afternoon (June 27) from 1pm until 4pm at the Ridgewood-Belcher Recreation Center. Our next big event is the Girl Scouts IP College July 6-10. Petzapalooza (at the Dallas Main Library) is July 11.
With last week's Junior's Pet Care Workshop, we're done for the school year. As most of the students tend to vanish during the summer, we'll have Girl Scouts IP University in July and reading programs at the Dallas Library, but for most of the summer, we'll be quiet. Check the calendar on the website for events! Thanks for all your support during the school year. Look for a wrap-up newsletter soon.
Our next volunteer meeting is this Sunday (Feb 7, 2010) from 1pm to 4pm at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano. The address is 2700 W. Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, 75023.
We'll have the Sparky's Pals' phone with us, 214-823-7257, so if you get lost, give us a call for directions! We will be in the Parish Hall, which is adjacent to the church, and we'll be in Rooms 1 & 2 (the two rooms combine into one).
If anyone has ribbon they would like to donate, we could use some extra!!
