I just received a newsletter from Ann Ranlett about the upcoming AAARF Arts and Crafts Fair.
Location: Auburn Autohaus, 2855 Grass Valley Highway, Auburn, CA
You can find the AAARF on facebook.
Here is the Facebook Event. Check it out to see what other artists will be in attendance.
A fellow Crafting for Animals Guild member, Lindsey of CardstockEquine, shared with me about a fundraiser for the Pregnant Mare Rescue. Coincidentally, this rescue is based in Aptos, California, very close to where I am based. Pregnant Mare Rescue is a California 501(c)3 Not for Profit Organization.
Lindsey has been communicating with one of the volunteers at Pregnant Mare Rescue about their program. After doing some research on her own, she feels confident that this organization is doing a good job and has expressed a willingness to support them.
Currently, the organization is looking for handcrafted donations for their silent auction as well as attendees to their Breakfast with the Babies’ fundraiser. If you are an artist or artisan and would like to help support them, please contact 408.540.8568 or pmrhorses@pregnantmarerescue.com.
Breakfast with the Babies
Location: Corralitos Grange, 165 Little Corral Way in Watsonville

Here at Tantalizing Stitches, 5% of sales are allotted for donation to our favorite animal charity. Due to the fire catastrophe at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society, Tantalizing Stitches will be dedicating this portion to BEBHS for the months of May and June. This applies to all sales at http://bagnsupplies.com . As a San Jose business and a Cal alum, El feels a special need to help BEBHS.
This was brought to my attention by an EFA member and I thought I’d pass it along. I know most of you are not in the area but if tell others eventually this info would get to the people who can help.

We lost 15 of our beautiful cats that were ready for adoption but all the dogs survived and are being cared for in our kennels and at a veterinary emergency service.
