Hello! Just thought I would update you on our financial state.
Super Night last week was done by two dedicated ASAP volunteers and
adopters. They invested their own money and time to be at the track.
They were able to receive $106 in donations from Balmoral that night.
This was a very meager amount, but a valiant effort by Adrienne and Lou. Adoptions in past two weeks: 0
Adoption fees in past two weeks: $0
Horses gifted during month of September - 2 - Craig invested his own time
and money to ship the horses to their new homes. Luckily, they were only
going about 40 miles, and to a great home with adopters of Nickel Slick
and a mare whose name now escapes me but I will come up with it! Donations in past week - $100 Foster homes desiring to return horses to program before winter - 3
Room at farm - none
Horses in crisis include one in Illinois, and two more horses in Illinois
desperately need to be rehomed due to sale of farm. Our feed bill last week: $275 - we receive feed every other week at the
rate of 1300-1400# of mixed sweet feed with Equishine vitamins from the
feed mill in Chaseburg. If you double $275 you come up with $550 a month
alone in feed costs. Hay delivered last week: 360 bales @ $2.00-$2.50 a bale
We have no way of paying this hay bill at this time. Unless homes can be found for winter, six horses will return to the ASAP
farm next month, leaving our farm with overcrowding. Upcoming events: In order to raise much-needed funding for horses in
need, ASAP has recruited several volunteers to serve beverages during the
Bret Michaels concert on Tuesday September 28 at Oktoberfest in La Crosse.
ASAP will be paid $400 for serving. Later, on October 2, ASAP will be
serving beverages again at the south side Festgrounds during Oktoberfest
in order to make money to pay bills. This will give ASAP another $350. Thanks to everyone so far who has volunteered - please email me to confirm
which night you will be guest bartending!!! Fundraiser at Romance Store - Saturday October 16 - karaoke, band, food,
beverages, time to share you horses if you decide to bring them (proof of
2010 coggins original and copy required), and trail ride at Duck Egg on
Sunday! Camping is $10. Tickets are $10 each - door prizes, food, fun,
and silent auction! We are working very hard in order to pay basic bills. We currently have
two round bales feeders that are completely shot from wear and tear that
we are hoping to replace. We have six senior horses that need dental work
before winter but we cannot do any of these things without support. Spread the word that horses need homes!! Don't forget to contact me if
you can help us during Oktoberfest. Thanks to Kelly Wilde for his support
and volunteering his karaoke for our fund raiser! Thanks also to Kelly
Wilde for his public service announcements on local radio station 100.1
and other media sources.
