What better way to begin 2009 than with this website's
specially commissioned Doris Day wall calendar proudly displayed on your wall...
I am thrilled to report that hundreds of you supported
my quest to raise another heap of money for the Doris
Day Animal Foundation. Thanks to your kindness the entire stock of this year's calendar
has sold out.
The best bit is even during such an economic downturn we
succeeded in bettering last year's total raised. |

It's no secret
that Doris is an animal welfare advocate. As most people also know she
heads two American-based animal organisations. Both
work tirelessly to improve the lives of many of our four-legged
friends.
For a second year running,
this website arranged the production of a
"professionally" printed
Doris Day wall calendar which unearthed many scarce
photographs from the star's Hollywood heyday.
The calendar was not
officially affiliated with or endorsed by Doris Day but was
produced in an effort to raise money
for her
Animal
Foundation.
What I am proud to
now reveal is the 2009 calendar has triumphed by raising $2318.52USD. This was the total profit made from
this venture after the deduction of costs for production, packaging, postage etc.
Not a cent was pocketed for self-gain with all of the
profits going to help what I am sure you will agree is a very
worthy cause.
Sincere thanks to everyone who bought these calendars as over
the last two years we have now raised over $4500USD. This
good news is going to make a very timely and perfect birthday
gift for our Doris. I am actually just about to post Doris
written confirmation of your efforts in a very cute "Have A Pooch Perfect Day"
birthday card.

from the Doris Day Animal Foundation that confirms
receipt of the donation.
