ASPCA Kits - Anyone get One?

[Jessika]

I haven't gotten mine yet. Its going to go to Rob's place, which means I have to spend 2hrs on the bus, oh boy!

I plan to put all the supplies in the HUGE cafe on the lower floor. Most of the employees eat in there & its a good & safe way to advertize.

You can fill out a COA form at your local post office, or even do it online

I just had to do it myself. Doing it online is SO much faster and actually gets through. We tried printing off a COA form to stick in our mailbox, but they never made it..

in the USA its a free service

Here in Canada it'll cost me 35.00 to do that for 6 months only! & 70.00 for a year only!

I worked in a postal outlet for 3.5yrs. I was even a manager for 2yrs *misses the job & her VIP customers, never got to say good bye *

[Jessika]

Oh yup forgot you were in Canada, sorry

Well still, that stinks. If I lived in Canada I would never move

[beeniesmom]

Oh sorry, I didn't know you had to pay for it in Canada.
It may still be worth 35$ to do that for 6 months for several reasons:

Gasoline and or public transport to get there costs $$$. You'd dave much more over 6 months.

in the meanwhile, you can notify people of your move and let them know what the new address is.

AND your ex may just trash your mail anyway.... sorry but true.

Don't drive & with a bus pass I can use the bus as much as I want with only 1 fee/month.

The only people I need to tell that I moved was, the banks, firearms canda, driver L, & my dad & sister. I never really got any mail. The only stuff I'm expecting is all that freebie stuff hehehe

I'll just collect my mail once a week & try to hang out with a girl I met, so we can play Nintendogs hahaha but the 2hrs on a bus still stinks :P

Rob wont trash my mail, hes not that hateful. He took extra care to make sure my plants were ok in the car lastnight. & he fed my fish yesterday. It was just "US" that didn't work

Both my Sister & I received ours yesterday. Her shirt was white but I haven't opened my box yet. I wonder if it's a fund-raiser - like are we supposed to sell those wrist bands and give the money to the ASPCA? I don't remember what I signed up for (I just remember it was free ).

I hope my shirt is bright orange. My Sister gave me her shirt because it's an X-Large.

I'll have to do some more research on it.

I got mine today! It has the orange t-shirt (which is fine since I live in the heart of University of TN Volunteer "Go Orange" Country), a few posters and a bunch of bands. If anyone comes up with any more ideas for what to do with them please let me know.

That's such a sweet offer, Sara, thank you so much!

I'll let you keep your's though, as for some reason I got another package yesterday with all of the things you guys listed. That's really strange as I only signed up once & the first box was much smaller in contents.

Guess I spoke too soon.

I'm hoping to go to the beach tomorrow for Ki's birthday and hand the stuff out.

Carmen's idea was a good one.. I'm going to check and see if the natural food place I get my 3's food from will take some.

Kay: I'm glad you got more stuff, although that is wierd that you got it in 2 shipments! They had you sweating it out, huh?!!?!?! LOL

You just gotta remember that this stuff is free and is for a good cause, to get the word out.

I hope everybody found a good way to put theirs to use!

My vets office was THRILLED to get the box of goodies! They LOVE stuff like this, promos to use in their office and were really excited about the bracelets & posters. And my vet LOVED the shirt!!!

I have to admit that I kept the calendar for myself. It was just so cute!

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

I still haven't got mine, but I live in Canada so it could take a while.

[Jessika]

I still haven't received mine.. I hope I get it SOON because if I get it too late it will be hard to get the word out!

[jazzcat]

Christa - glad to hear your vet's office was receptive and excited. I'm planning to take my stuff over to my vet next week and if they don't want it I will take it to the kennel/groomer where I used to take Disney. They're a large business and service a large part of Knoxville. I will at least ask them to hang the posters.

I also plan to take a poster to the local dog park that opened recently.
