Indeed! Need to allow time for people to come and see....get some bidding wars going and allow for all the crazy work schedules.
Bars seem to be a great place to sell any sort of raffle ticket.
I did internet raffle ticket once at my piggy open house PHNR Open House
deal was if anyone from the internet won then they had to send shipping fee's before I'd ship the winnings to them. They had no problems with that. I had folks from Canada and the UK buying tickets!

Forums for the "Great Fish Rescue Auction of 2008" are begun... just invisible until it actually starts.
When does it officially start? How long will it last? Will it be here?? How do you get the raffle tickets? I'm interested in tickets. What's the rules?
I'm excited. Maybe could win something that would be a good Christmas Present.
Just wondering, are you prepared to ship the artwork and other things if someone wins that is not by you Kelly?
Hopefully if it takes place this weekend (or coming week?) there is enough time to get the word out.

Re: My fish rescue business is in danger. Can you help?
I'm not only bumping this up so all can see but I'm also adding a link to another forum that Kelly just left a post today with some added info concerning her fish.
Re: My fish rescue business is in danger. Can you help?
Thanks Patti.
The rescue is still bringing in a lot of rescues despite the hardships we have faced. I would like to share a few pictures of some of the big guys that are here right now. Just a reminder that the Rescue is totally Non Profit and any donation can be used as a tax deduction if you would like. We are in desperate need of monetary donations, gift cards for foods, supplies etc, and LARGE tanks. There is a donate tab on our site Finned Friends Aquatic Rescue & Angelfish Breeding.
As mentioned on the other post in the Chit Chat area, we are a little bit closer to getting justice for the AWFUL Contractor that took advantage of us. After paying $1500 to a new contractor this week to help fix the problems this other guy caused I am HOPING this will help with our extremely high utility bills. Please keep your fingers crossed.
We are now trying to prepare to get donations for our Second Annual Fish Rescue Auction coming sometime this fall. If anyone knows anyone who would like to donate any item to place in the auction, please contact me.
Anyhow, as a reminder.....With me being only One of Three Rescues that devote our time and money solely to rescue the unwanted aquatic.....or else the would be killed. They have every right to live out their lives as any other living breathing creature does. So many are unwanted and easily disposed of cause there aren't any laws out there to protect aquatics.
Here are some pictures of my new guys:
19" Shovelnose Catfish
Two LARGE 19"+ Pacu
The Shovelnose with one of the Pacu's
LARGE Breeding Pair of Green Severums
Two Smaller 11"+ Pacus
LARGE 13" Tiger Oscar
Clown Knife 16"+
Medium Midas Cichlid
LARGE 7 Silver Dollars

Last year, I finally started my dream job. I opened an aquatic rescue and angelfish breeding business. I thought I had done my homework, and hired all of the appropriate contractors. Unfortunately I was wrong. The person who installed my heating and cooling system, which heats my tanks and runs all of the air to my aquariums, completely scammed me. Because of this, my utility bills have tripled, and I am in danger of losing everything. If the utility company shuts me off, I will lose all 12,000 of my fish. This is only a small portion of my story. For the complete story and information about my business, please visit Finned Friends Aquatic Rescue & Angelfish Breeding. There you will find the information regarding this story. Can you please help me salvage my dreams?
