Fwd: SF Vegan Bakesale is THIS SATURDAY! An update!
by Elizabeth Young 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

All proceeds benefit MickaCoo & Muttsville Senior Dog Rescue! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura H. Beck <laura(a)vegansaurus.com> Date: Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:15 AM Subject: SF Vegan Bakesale is THIS SATURDAY! An update! To: Karin Olsson <kolsson(a)humanesociety.org>, Gabrielle Pope < gpope(a)vegnews.com> Hello Awesome SF Vegan Bakesale Bakers/Volunteers! This is a long email so please bear with me and I apologize but there's lots of info in here, mostly not crazy! First, I wanted to ask: *Can anyone bring a table to the bakesale? Our usual source of tables is unavailable and we need 'em! Please please please let me know!* * * As we plan everything needed to have a successful sale, we realize there are a few things we still need & could use some help on: *SIGNS!* We need to get traffic flowing towards our tables & that means colorful signs! Consider silly things like, "Eat A Cupcake, Save An Animal!" or "Bake Sale for the Animals". Anything people can see when driving / walking by that looks nice / tempting is great. Also, we're attaching flyers that can be posted everywhere and left at coffee shops, etc. Please help or pass on to those who can! *We could also use napkins, to-go boxes (!!!), decorative plates to display items on, especially multi-tiered display options and most importantly, large, stable tables. * Have these items? Able to get them? LET US KNOW! If you don't have these items, don't worry, we'll be fine! How can anyone be upset when baked goods are involved?! *One questions I've been asked repeatedly is how to bring your baked goods.. * When bringing your items, consider putting some in saran wrap or putting some of your items in bags. It's certainly not required, we will have saran on site & many people will be eating there, but for those taking items away, it will make things easier to sell & encourage people to take things on the road. If your item is not something that looks visually stimulating in saran, skip it! Also, a plate of some sort to display them is nice, but not required. If you don't plan to stay the whole day, please label any containers you need back. Ideally, you'll come get them at the end of the day. Oh and volunteer Jackie also made the attached signs that you can attach to your baked goods with ribbons, if you'd like. We'll also have signs at the sale! Don't worry about making a sign for your goodies, unless you want to specifically advertise your bakery in them. We'll have colorful index cards on hand for everyone else. Don't worry about pricing, we're going to standardize it to make it easy! *We'll be arriving at SpeeSee's at 10 am on Saturday to set up*. If you want to come early to hang signs, make the table pretty, hang out and be awesome, please do! *In case of rain,* the sale will still go on. It's forecasted right now but we're hoping it doesn't happen or that there's a light drizzle. If that's the case, we'll carry on. If it's really pouring, we'll probably shut down. I'll try to keep everyone posted on this but just assume that it's happening, rain or shine! Finally, you'll all be assigned in shift as to when to deliver your goods (you're welcome to hang out and volunteer, too!). If the time slot doesn't work for you, just let me know and we'll figure out another one, no biggie! We're so excited that you're all coming and it's gonna be amazing and we're gonna make SO MUCH money for the animals! xoxo Laura, Karin, and Gabrielle p.s. Tell everyone about the bakesale! We have tons of delicious vegan baked goods (over 30 bakers!!!!!) and we need buyers! One thing, you can send our twitter account (www.twitter.com/sfveganbakesale) to your email list, facebook, twitter, etc. We also have an event set up at * http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167326796639503&ref=ts* Join it and invite friends and post it on your wall! Also, the flyers are attached so please post, post, post (also, does anyone live near SpeeSee's and can drop some off there? If so, let me know!) -- 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

Donations requested for hawk-struck homing pigeon's vet care
by Elizabeth Young 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hello- MickaCoo was recently contacted by San Jose Animal Control Services to rescue a seriously injured (hawk struck) homing pigeon that would otherwise be euthanized. Tina K was kind enough to rush out on a rainy night to pick her up from the shelter and then rush her 20 miles in the other direction to Dr. Sanders' where she required surgery to debried and close her wound. This incredibly lucky-to-be-alive bird, named Raspberry, was then taken home for foster care by Louisa J and is healing very well thanks to all the quick care and ongoing TLC. If you can, please consider donating towards her $510 (and still climbing) vet bill. This link will take you to a page that describes how to donate to MickaCoo (via Mickaboo's PayPal or by check). If you do donate towards Raspberry's care, please include a note that says "for pigeon Raspberry" or email me so that it is routed to MickaCoo. Thank you for considering, e Elizabeth Young adoptkings(a)gmail.com

Ernesto the tame dove needs an indoor home ASAP
by Elizabeth Young 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hello- Ernesto is a lovely, healthy, and very well socialized adult male white ringneck dove. His person of 10 years recently passed away and he is currently being fostered at the Filoli aviary. He's there to meet a lady dove but he is missing indoor life. Please help me to find a nice indoor foster or adoptive home for Ernesto (and his girlfriend-to-be) as soon as possible. He has his own cage (big enough for him and a friend). Thank you! -- 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

FW: Important Farmers' Market protest Sunday, Dec. 12
by Elizabeth Y 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

-----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. Andrew www.LGBTcompassion.org

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.

---------- 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.
