| Our Spring Membership Campaign has concluded. Thank you SO Much! If you have a "thank you gift" coming to you we ask that you please be patient as we are in the process of tabulating all the items and getting them ready for shipping. The good news is that we received so many new pledges ...the bad news, is it will take longer to fulfill the pledge requests with our available resources (about 4-6 weeks). Thank you for your understanding. |
