Team Update and Predications

Today we are 130 members who have made 418 loans totalling $14,825.00.

I’m going to stretch my neck out here and make some predictions. By the end of October, I believe our membership will be just shy of 200 members and the value of the loans we will have funded will be over $17,500.

Looking to the end of the year - I’d say we will be 300 members and our loan total will be over $22,000

Anyone else brave enough to make a predication - if so, e-mail me and I will do up a Member’s Predict posting when I have several submitted to me.

Also, please see the 2 articles that Dan is responsible for (just after the one about the contest).

Everyone have themselves a nice day !!!

Some New Features ....

In an attempt to get some more activity going between Animal Lovers, I have introduced a free chance at one of Canada’s lotteries (see previous post).

Also, a contest which will offer as a prize - a Kiva loan from me but based on the choice of the winner (some minor restrictions will apply).
The World's Largest Zoo contest will unravel in the form of general clues - an example would be that the animal comes from Africa. And there will be special clues - those that are able to solve some puzzles, will be mailed extra clues.

Note: The clues will only be avaiable at this blog - they will not be mailed as a Team Message because some Team Members will not want to be part of this contest. More details to be released latter.

Cheers.

How Many Animal Lovers Want A Free Chance To Win On Canada’s Super 7 Lottery ?

Here’s the deal - I buy the ticket and you get a chance to win 25 % of any winnings I get that are over $100. This will be for 1 draw only - the Super 7 Lotto for October 10, 2008. You need to be a member of the Animal Lovers team and then all you need to do is send me an e-mail and say “Howdy” - or, you can sign up as a follower of this blog (see the right-hand side of this page). Deadline to do either is 8 PM ADT Thursday, Oct 9, 2008.

Shortly after you do that, I will tell you want your 7 numbers are and you then just sit tight until Oct 10th and maybe pray that I get lucky with those numbers because that means you get lucky too.

Lakota
Lakota, Kota for short, was adopted at SAD SAC (Save a Dog, Save a Cat) just about a year ago. He was the last of the litter, and no one wanted him. We think its because of his mustache. We decided to foster him and within a day, we decided to keep him. He suffers from separation anxiety still to this day. When my wife leaves the room for an extended period of time, he calls out to her with a meow that sounds like "Mom!"




Chadwick
Chad was adopted from a video store just after the 2000 election here in the US. We named him Chad after the whole Hanging Chad debate.

He is the alpha of the house and lets it be known. Where ever you want to sit, he wants to sit. He loves having a lint roller rolled on his neck and face, and has a bad habit of finding adhesive tape to lick.




Tink
Tink has been with my wife longer than I have, over 12 years. She is petite, and a princess and she knows it.
She also has a loose lens in one of her eyes that makes it look like a marble. She is often picked on by the boys, be does her best to stand her ground.
Going outside is a treat for her, and when she is returned to the indoors, she yells to go back outside. Like I said, a princess.


My wife and I frequent many of the preserves and sanctuaries in the South Florida area, including some wetlands, the Panther Ridge Sanctuary, The Loggerhead Marinelife center, and the Busch wildlife center. You can see some photos on my blog or on my Flickr page listed below.
