Hello everyone!

Hubby and I have decided to produce a 2009 Charity Calendar in which 75% of proceeds will go to a deserving Yorkie Rescue! It will feature our professional photography, and Yorkie and Biewer breeders in the Southeast. We hope to begin photographing it by June, and hopefully be done by about September or October. It takes about a week for the calendars to prinit, so HOPEFULLY we'll have them ready for sale before Christmas! We are only having 150 of them made though. We are willing to travel anywhere that is within a day's driving distance (to and fro). Home is Knoxville, TN.

What we are doing is 'selling' advertising for each month and the front cover. Each month will have a beautiful full color photograph of a Yorkie, and then contact information and a kennel name for that breeder. The 'cost' of advertising will cover the cost of printing the calendars (which will come shrink wrapped, have a cardboard insert, and all come with envelopes in which to send to people!) In return, that person who donated advertising, would receive their choice of two 5x7's or one 8x10 of the photograph we chose for the calendar, and a calendar when they printed of course!! (When the cost of the printing is covered, then that will allow more money to be donated to the rescue! We are aiming for about a $1400 donation!)

We are also going to put out there that if there is someone that makes handmade Yorkie wares, they can also advertise and send a couple examples for the models to wear. They too would have also have contact information for people to see.

Here are the advertising costs:

Inside Month Page: $125
Front Cover: $250
Handmade Yorkie Ware: $50

I would like some help though in finding a Yorkie Rescue! I did a google search and saw some really great ones, but if there is one that is near and dear to your heart, I would appreciate the name and contact info! We will decide which charity to donate to in the next several weeks. We would like to take some adequate time in deciding which one.

If you know of a really GREAT Yorkie/Biewer breeder that is within a few hours of Knoxville, TN I would really appreciate you mentioning this to them! It benefits all around -- Us of course because we get to show off our skillz

, them, because their photograph and contact info is going to be seen by hundreds of people, and of course a wonderful deserving Yorkie Rescue!

We are so super totally excited to start working on the calendar. We were thinking that if it goes really well, then in the future, we would do them all the time!! We love rescues and appreciate the work they do for all animals, big and small.

Thanks and sorry for the HUGE posting!!!!

If you know someone that could be interested, just direct them to our website -- www.allpetphoto.com. Our portfolio and contact info is there! Thanks!!!
