It's all go!
What a week! As the weather gets hotter and more humid, we work harder than ever towards our fundraising goals before Christmas comes!
Some incredibly exciting news is that the Estelle Friedman Grevis Family Foundation have agreed to match 50% of any donations made to Esther Honey between now and Friday (Dec 16th), so as much as I hate to use the blog to ask for donations, just this once it is such a good opportunity for your generosity to be worth even more! Check out estherhoney.org/donate to help us out!
As some of you know, this time last week I was somewhat overwhelmed by having the honour of taking photos of a bunch of army b
oys with our animals! Gregg had told me that a few of them had offered to come over to prove 'cats can be sexy too', but the last thing I expected was to be handed a camera just as almost 15 shirtless, incredibly good looking men piled off their bikes onto our doorstep! It was a fun morning, with the boys being great sports and only a couple of kittens 'temporarily misplaced', and certainly the volunteers having a bit of sport (note the photo with Lee sneaking a peek from the door looking more than a little besotted...).
Other fundraising efforts going on this week includes tomorrow's car wash/ dog wash! With many of the local young men always keen to stop in and visit 'the Esther Honeys', we are hoping for a great turn out; and any funds raised will also contribute towards our fantastic matching opportunity. The Quiz Night for next month is also beginning to take place (with potentially some very exciting MC's donating their time for us), and the prizes for our raffle are all in order!
On the social side of things, a certain somebody (ie me) got the only hole-in-one at CocoPutt on Wednesday; a great laugh until you realise the price consists of swallowing a funnel of beer in front of 20-something backpackers cheering you on! Our own Lukas also kicked some serious butt at the Limbo competition, and was awarded the same honour!
From the clinical side, we have had a busy week with WAAAY too many road traffic accidents presenting over the weekend, and we were very lucky to have Fiona - our super surgeon - arrive just in time to help fix them all up! With the census of all the island animals almost finished for the year, that also brings in hundreds of extra dog neuters as the girls door knock and encourage the owners of any entire animals to bring them in as soon as they can.
All up, it's all go here! Can't wait to see if we reach the final goal of $20,000 to be matched by this extraordinary opportunity!
