White Plains Show/Cool Shirts!!!

[Adam_Wysocki]

Hi Robin,

Unfortunately, we won't be able to get them out to the Repticon folks in time for the Atlanta show, but .....

The shirts will be available online hopefully by Wednesday at www.natpet.org. We're not selling them, but they are free with a donation to NatPET of $20 or more. All proceeds go to The National Pet Association and in part will help fund the projects that we are launching this year, including:

- NatPET Food Pantry - A program to help pet owners all over the country that are struggling financially during this horrible economic crisis and need help with a bag of dog food, cat litter, etc.

- NatPET Tracs - An interactive educational program that teaches responsible pet ownership to 3rd - 5th graders in schools, summer camps, and at scouting programs.

- The Florida ROC Project - A program to educate Florida reptile owners about the importance of Floridas reptiles of concern permit and to provide incentives to people that own reptiles of concern that don't have their permit to become compliant with the law for the sake of the hobby and industry. The Florida ROC Project also provides information about how Florida reptile of concern owners can safely and legally find new homes for unwanted animals.

And of course, a large portion of the money raised will help us continue the work we are doing every week in Washington DC to ensure that responsible pet owners are not unfairly punished by unreasonable federal legislation.

Thanks Adam! So should we wait until Wednesday to make a donation if we want to get a shirt?

I LOVE the NatPET Food Pantry idea. I remember when you told me about it, and I'm glad to see it moving forward!

What shirt sizes will you have available and are they only available in gray? I don't mind gray, but figured other people might be wondering, so thought I'd ask!

Definitely wait for the shirt link to go up so that we can track donations made for shirts vs. general donations. Some of our small mammal owners probably wouldn't appreciate getting a "snake shirt" in the mail, so there will be a separate link to get the shirt.

We have Small-4XL and they'll be selectable when the site goes up via a drop down. The page will look like a shopping cart, but it's technically a donation not a purchase.

For the first run, they're only available in gray. We'll see what happens once we're ready for a new order.

The Pet Food Pantry is Kellys pet project ... she's rocking it out!

Thanks Robin!

Awesome shirts Adam!

Please post more info about this NatPET Tracs program. Do you need help with it? Combining kids & animals is totally my kind of thing.
