Precious Paws Fundraiser
The deadline for this fundraiser has passed. $600 was raised for the precious kitties!!
The following is from Debra...
It's fundraiser time again and this one is going for
a very special cause - or should I say "very special PAWS!" The recipient
of the donations will be Precious Paws, a non-profit pet rescue organization
run by my good friend (and Bobby's) Georgyne. She has dedicated her
life to the rescue and placement of animals - mostly cats, but she has
also handled some dogs. Georgyne is "Mom" to BW, the former Bobby Sherman
Fan Club mascot. Bobby was the one who named BW - short for "black and
white" like in the LAPD police cars. Donations go for the care and feeding
of animals until such time they are adopted out and placed in loving
homes. We all have a soft spot in our hearts for animals and here's
a way to get something of Bobby history and help a great cause also.
The offering is for a picture CD of Bobby photos. To be included are
over 75 pictures of Bobby from June through September, 1971, taken outside
of Columbia Ranch in Burbank (now part of the Warner Brothers studios)
when he was filming "Getting Together." A friend of Georgyne's had the
honor of getting to hang out in front of the main gate with friends
and catch Bobby coming and going almost daily where he would pose for
pictures and sign autographs. Also included in these photos are ones
from his record signing at Zody's department store, a now-defunct Los
Angeles store, in November, 1971. You'll find miscellaneous other pictures
from the same era including a picture of the Sherman's house where Bobby
grew up from age 8 on. Our local Photoshop expert and Webmaster Extraordinaire,
Ginny Renta, lent me her expertise in making these 34 year old pictures
look their best. As an added bonus, you'll receive on the CD over 50
various publicity photos taken over the years. These are from my private
collection as well as contributions from Karen Corwith and Wendy Van
Horne's collections. I'm sure the CD will be a delight to every true
Bobby fan.
As an added incentive, all those who donate will have their name put
in a special drawing for a Bobby lunchbox signed and personalized to
you (or the person of your choice) by Bobby. He's ready to sign it for
the lucky winner, so be sure your name is among the eligible ones.
The donation requested for the CD is just $25.00 with an additional
$5.00 charge to cover the actual costs (blank CD, case, mailing supplies
and postage). Precious Paws is a non-profit organization (FEIN #03-0455334)
and you can check with your accountant for deductibility on your tax
returns. For more information or instructions for ordering, please contact
me.

You may make donations directly to the organization at any time and
we hope that you'll feel free to do so. To receive the CD and be included
in the drawing, you must respond to this offer directly.
Deadline for ordering is Sunday, April 24, 2005, so please don't hesitate
to place your order now! Donations must be received by Friday, April
29, in order to be included in the drawing for the Bobby lunchbox. Thank
you for helping such a great cause!
Thank you!
