-----Original Message----- From: Andrew Zollman <andrew(a)lgbtcompassion.org> Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 12:33 PM To: adoptkings(a)gmail.com Subject: Important Farmers' Market protest Sunday, Dec. 12 Dear Animal Advocate, Thanks to everyone who has helped keep the pressure on the Heart of the City Farmers' Market over the past year, we have two pieces of encouraging news to report: 1. Bullfeathers Quail, one of two live bird vendors at the market, has not shown up for three weeks. In the weeks prior, the vendor had become increasingly agitated with our protests and claimed he intends to sue LGBT Compassion for libel. While we cannot confirm, his... unusual absence leads us to believe that our campaign may have affected his sales and driven him out of the market! 2. A month ago, the health department gave the live chicken vendor and the farmers market final warnings to fall into compliance of state health codes (which they clearly will not do). We were told that inspectors would be checking on the market by this week, but we have been unable to contact department officials to confirm any developments. Though it is discouraging that we havent seen immediate results, the writing is clearly on the wall: live chicken sales are a documented public health risk. Recently, KRON 4 TV ran a story about the continued live animal violations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxB8IqITh1U. In October we asked for your support and it turned into a watershed moment for the campaign. With over 30 of us holding signs, passing out brochures and discussing these issues with market customers, we forced the market and public officials to take our concerns seriously. We are close to seeing the result weve all been waiting for, but we need to give them one last shove in the right direction. Please join us this Sunday, December 12 at 10 am to protest the extreme animal cruelty and public health risks at the Heart of the City Farmers' Market. We'll provide signs and brochures -- and don't worry, the forecast is for a sunny day! If you can't make it, please help by calling the San Francisco Department of Public Health to complain about the persistent odor and filth caused by allowing factory farmed birds to be sold at a farmers' market. They can be reached from 8 am to 5 pm on Monday through Friday at (415) 252-3800. Thank you and we hope to see you this Sunday! Please RSVP to this email address, if you can join us.

Fwd: ACC Volunteer Update
by Elizabeth Young 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello- I know a lot of you are helping to get towels for SFACC and wanted to share this with you! Also- may I invite the SFACC Smalls Volunteers to Mickaboo's Bird Care Classes? They are wonderful people and hungry for info about the birds. (And/or would Mickaboo consider doing a special class for SFACC Smalls Volunteers specifically about caring for and enriching the lives of the birds in the shelter? I'd participate as a pigeon & dove trainer.) 8 ] e ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <Deb.Campbell(a)sfgov.org> Date: Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 5:11 PM Subject: ACC Volunteer Update To: Hi Everyone! Hope you're staying dry today. ACC will be closed to the public next Wednesday, December 15 for our staff development day. You're all welcome to come volunteer, but everyone will need to leave the building by 6:00 PM. Our fabulous Friends of Animal Care & Control need some assistance with a project on Friday, December 10. Please help if you can. Kate Edwards is preparing a Friends holiday donation mailing, and will need help putting labels and stamps on around 1000 envelopes. These letters are asking for donations to Friends so that they can help our animals here at ACC - a worthy cause if there ever was one. If you can help, please e-mail Kate at: d4dr(a)aol.com Kate will be in the volunteer room starting at 3:00 PM, and plans to be here into the evening. If any of you know of small neighborhood papers that can be approached for ads and animal stories, can you let me know? We'd love to get our info into them! I want to say a big thanks to our team of Small Animal Volunteers! Over the past year, they have built a solid team that maintains coverage in room 225 every day - amazing! When I was a small animal volunteer (many moons ago) - it was a good week when there were a few volunteers stopping by on the weekend. It's the first time in history we've had so much coverage for the little guys - thank you! We will be at Pet Food Express on Market St. on Sunday, December 19, from 11 AM to 5 PM, for a holiday mobile adoption event. If you would like to help out, please let me know. Thank you to everyone who helped us with procuring towels yesterday - you guys rock! We've had a steady stream of towels coming in from individuals, people ordering quantities to ship to us and companies dropping off boxes full. Thank you! Thank you all for everything you do! You make a HUGE difference.

Fwd: Mickaboo volunteer request - San Jose, 12/28

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee, Pamela A <pamela.a.lee(a)bankofamerica.com> Date: Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 9:15 AM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo volunteer request - San Jose, 12/28 To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Mickaboo has been invited to be at the San Jose Children’s Discovery Museum during their “Giving Back Days”. We have a table on Tues, 12/28, and have been asked to bring foster birds to attract kids, which then pulls in their parents, to whom we can pitch the education and community service aspects of Mickaboo. NO fundraising allowed. The museum is open 9-5, and is giving us one table. Who would like to take a shift? I’m told the museum is PACKED during these days because school is out, so ideally I’m thinking 3-4 volunteers per shift of about 4 hours. If you can’t quite do 4 hrs… let me know which hours you can accommodate, and I’ll do the scheduling tetris. Please email me directly at *pambudgie(a)yahoo.com* <pambudgie(a)yahoo.com> if you are interested in helping in this way. - Pam ------------------------------ This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.

by Elizabeth Young 06 Dec '10

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <Deb.Campbell(a)sfgov.org> Date: Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 12:19 PM Subject: Help! ACC Needs Towels For The Animals To: Hi Everyone, ACC is critically short of towels for the animals. We use them for bedding, for bathing, and numerous other purposes. All of our divisions use them daily. If you have any spare towels, please consider donating to ACC. Our animals don't care if the towels are stained or frayed - as long as they're clean. If you could ask co-workers, family and friends - we would be very grateful. For non-volunteers, towels can be dropped off at ACC (1200 15th St. - at Harrison) between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM everyday, and until 7:00 PM on Wednesdays. Thank you!

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] 2010 Mickaboo holiday party - feedback?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee, Pamela A <pamela.a.lee(a)bankofamerica.com> Date: Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 1:42 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] 2010 Mickaboo holiday party - feedback? To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Accounting for the final results is coming along with an announcement to come soon. In the meantime, while our memories are fresh, can you tell me what we did well (so we don't change it!) and what we could have done better (so we improve it next year) at next year’s Holiday Party? For example, in response to last year’s feedback, we: - Stayed with the same location and timing - Went without the public announcements for raffle and silent auction winners - Arranged for credit card payments via Paypal - Arranged an icebreaker activity (though I was pleased to see people were mingling fine without it!) - Put out more donation jars - Made sure all food was accompanied by ingredient lists - Made drink pricing clearer - Arranged for more tables and chairs for sit-down eating - Scheduled the presentation earlier. - Areas you might want to write about: - Pre-party communications - Location (Pleasanton, CA) - The room and physical facility itself - Parking arrangements - Food - Pricing - The available activities - Entertainment - If you were a volunteer - what did, and didn't, work out for you While there is no such thing as a "perfect party" which will meet everyone’s approval, I'm always interested in making what we have better. I'm also open to folks letting me know *now* they're open to volunteering for next year's event! :) Thanks in advance for offering your thoughts on BOTH what was good or great, and what could be better!
