$1480.00!!! Ally Fundraiser Money update MARCH 1st

**jennielynn1970** · 02-15-2007, 09:04 PM

Not just because they are cheaper, but because I can only pick up on the weekend, and they don't ship "cargo" on weekends. Ally is considered cargo. So, we'd need to have someone else pick her up since I can't do a weekday.

Jenn, I think Emily offered to do that in an earlier post here, if Ally flies into DC, to save you the drive - she would meet you part way.

We'll see what the price is...

**jennielynn1970** · 02-15-2007, 11:38 PM

Yeah, we've been discussing it. She said she knew that they couldn't fly them on a weekend... I didn't know this. If I had sick days left, I could do a weekday, but I don't

It stinks to be out of sick days and it's only February. I have to make it to June and not be sick. Ugh. I missed a bunch of days when I fell down my basement stairs, migraines, and just some "mental health" days, lol.

We'll figure it out... I'm sure Cheryl will pick her up like she did Connor, she had PM'd me and said she could so, that is a good thing!

Wow! We just got a huge donation! We are up to $835.00!!

**Catty1** · 02-17-2007, 11:22 PM

COOL! Would be neat to hear about a slightly lower rate for getting Ally here...then the gap would narrow even MORE!

I have to figure out my wacky finances for a bit before I can look at giving more!

fingers crossed!

**jenluckenbach** · 02-18-2007, 01:44 PM

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! Pet talk people are without a doubt, THE best!!!

Now we need a date and a "game plan". I hope Julie's local friend can get with the needed info soon.

**jennielynn1970** · 02-18-2007, 05:08 PM

I'm sorry that I haven't kept up on this thread but I would like to help.
Would a check via snail mail be acceptable? The person responsible for
the money would have to send me a PM with mailing info. Thanks.

Liz.

The info is in the first post

Just a crazy thought....would there be any cruise ships going from bahrain to the USA?

Would a nice passenger or two be willing to take Ally - and how much would it cost?

Long shot, I know...may not be cheaper....

But GREAT to see where the funds are!

Yes, but how LONG would the trip be??

**Catty1** · 02-18-2007, 07:39 PM

Less than a week - on the open sea, there are NO ports of interest!

But hang on, I'll try to get more details...

OOOPS...while trying to find out how long it takes to get a ship from Bahrain to New York, I hit "Submit" expecting a quote on cost and distance...and the message got SENT...

oh dear.

Well, it's only my email!
