by Elizabeth Young 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello- Here are pictures from my visit to the amazing Terra Savia winery in Hopland yesterday. Terra Savia is going to build an aviary to provide a home for some of MickaCoo's many rescued king pigeons in need of a wonderful home! THANK YOU to Yvonne and the Terra Savia team for opening their hearts to MickaCoo. Terra Savia, which means "wise earth", produces organic red and white wine, extra virgin olive oil, and wildflower honey. Please visit www.TerraSavia.org to see their incredible offerings. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=560…

Thank you, Kymberleigh and Diane for listing so many of our birds! The entries look great and the additional exposure (and in such a pet-friendly venue at Pet Food Express) is MUCH appreciated!

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] South Bay Farmers' Market take 2
by Elizabeth Young 10 May '11

10 May '11

MickaCoo birds are encouraged to consider attending too. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rachael Prewett <rprewett(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 10, 2011 at 8:56 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] South Bay Farmers' Market take 2 To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> I'm hoping to visit a different Farmers' Market on the weekend of May 28th/29th or June 4th/5th. This won't be the Campbell Farmers' Market - as I figure we can hit a larger audience if we vary which venues we visit. On Saturdays there's a Farmers' Market in Santa Clara, on Homestead (9am-1pm), and on Sunday there's a Farmers' Market at Santana Row (11am-3pm). If you're interested in doing either a 2 or 4 hour shift at one of these events, please contact me offlist with what date(s) you can do, what times you can stay, and what (if any) foster birds you can bring. Foster birds must be clipped and contained in safe caging (or harnessed). Remember, these events can be pretty lively, and people often bring their dogs, so keep that in mind when selecting a foster bird for an outdoor event like this. ~Rachael ------- HOW TO -------------------- CHANGE PERSONAL SETTINGS: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/discuss/ VIEW LIST ARCHIVE: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/discuss/ HOW TO RESET YOUR LIST PASSWORD: http://confluence.mickaboo.org/x/2wFj -- Elizabeth * * Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

I did it!!!!!
by Elizabeth Young 10 May '11

10 May '11

Oh my goodness! I left SFACC yesterday almost in tears. MickaCoo has 251 (!!) pigeons in foster care and there are 8 (!!) more at SFACC right now! BUT my outreach to wineries for my idea of a king pigeon aviary has paid off and I have one that says, Yes! Terra Savia<http://www.terrasavia.com/index.html>in Hopland says yes yes yes and I am meeting with them this Thursday! They are organic, already committed to rescue and will create a wonderful aviary for 10-15 rescued king pigeons! AND they know some others that they think will also want to help. Oh my goodness. I can breathe again! I've attached Julia Green's gorgeous (and donated!) illustration of this dream of mine... one that is about to come true! -- Elizabeth * * Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

An easy way to help...
by Elizabeth Young 07 May '11

07 May '11

*I'm posting this message for MickaCoo adopter & volunteer Marsha because of technical difficulties. EY * As you all know the Silent Auction part of the annual Holiday party is a chance for us to raise some badly needed money for Boo and Coo. Margie Gear and I are working on this together but we desperately need some HELP. I am putting together a list of possible donors, restaurants, hotels, etc and all I need is a few good people to call these places and get the contact person and the fax number so I can start sending our requests. It is important that we do this ASAP because Margie found that last year contacting them in August was many times too late, they had already used the money that they had allocated for donations. Please, please contact me if you would be willing to take some names and phone numbers and lend a hand- marsha.b(a)comcast.net. The birds thank you.

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo volunteer request - mailing help
by Elizabeth Young 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hello- MickaCoo gets a lot of behind-the-scenes help and support from Mickaboo and helping with this mailing would be a way for us to give a bit of that support back. See info below and thank you for considering! Elizabeth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee, Pamela A <pamela.a.lee(a)bankofamerica.com> Date: Fri, May 6, 2011 at 10:36 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo volunteer request - mailing help To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> As part of our summer fundraising campaign, we want to mail slightly less than 600 letters in May. The “raw materials” – copies of the letter, printed labels, etc – should all be ready sometime the week of 5/16 or early the week of 5/23. Who would like to help with this stuffing request? Will involve · “dressing” the envelope with the addressee label, Mickaboo return address label, and US stamp, · folding the (expected) one-page letter and putting it into the envelope · sealing the envelope · putting the finished product into the US mail system If interested, email *pambudgie(a)yahoo.com* <pambudgie(a)yahoo.com> and let me know how many 100’s you would like to handle. If there are lots of offers of help, preference will be given to those folks whose paths I’ll cross at Mickaboo events or otherwise (in this timeframe: Livermore, Redwood City, or San Francisco).
