Topic: THE LOTTERY - Donation Campaign 2015!

It's done, folks. The donations are here and you won't believe where we are right now. I know that today will bring the last donation. But - and here is the first of some good news - at the moment we have exactly


                                                              846,87 Euro / 947,78 US Dollar


for the shelter! Plus what will come in today and... No. This is still the big surprise. And you will have to wait until the lottery is over. As soon as everything is done, the video will be uploaded. And the URL will be posted here, too. To all those who will win a whip - please contact the respective donator for the shipping details. And do not forget: You have won a whip. But you pay for the shipping, okay? That was said long ago, but to bring it back to your memory...

To all those who donated, bought tickets and donated a whip and don't win. Please let me assure you - you are a winner! Because of the good cause we all serve. Those doggies will be not only happy. They will be alive. They will never know who did this. You can't look into their eyes. But all of you know. You know in your hearts. In your souls. Not all of the WB members donated - bought tickets. I don't know why. They have their reasons, I guess.

Stay tuned, folks. At the moment we have way more money than I ever expected! And it will be much more!
Whoops... Did I say that loud...? smile

That is a fantastic amount of money for this cause.  I knew that we were a generous community of people, but I'm not sure any of us expected it to reach this lofty level.

Thank you for putting this together, Robby.

And to everyone who contributed -- in whatever way you could -- CONGRATULATIONS!!

I thank all of you! That is not my success. It is all from the members who donated!

And - the surprise is still uncovered...  smile

Re: THE LOTTERY - Donation Campaign 2015!

The video with the drawing of the tickets is here:


http://youtu.be/pj4PiQrZY18


We have the winners - and let me tell you it was all crazy  smile  And the big surprise is revealed! At the end of the video...

We made a lot of money for the dog shelter. And I am grateful for everyone who bought a ticket. What I do not understand is that we have members who didn't buy a single ticket. I know from two members why. But the others - I don't get it. I don't understand. I won't bother and post the names. Anyway. It helped me to see a few things clearer.

Thanks to all of you. To all those who participated! We made a real difference today. Most of us did.

This is so neat.  Congratulations Robby, best lemonade ever.

Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

I've just seen the video, Robby! Wunderbar! What a really splendid result for the doggies! Thanks to everyone involved in this - and especially to you: after all, it was your initiative that drove the whole thing! smile
