| Secret Pup Pal There was a thread started in the general section by pepe mint. And I think it may be a good idea to raise money for the sight. I'm not sure if I posted the link correctly but there it is below. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68446 Maybe this could be something to help rasie money for the sight. The fee could be cheaper then the one to join the gift exchange to encourage more people. I don't think the secret pup pal would take away from the gift exchange considering that those of us who are serious about this sight love to participate. For those who have multiple dogs this may also help them with participating in a simple gift exchange. So this is just an idea for admin tell us what you think. |

| i'll say it again.. i think this is a great idea!!! like a pen pal with some extras and i think the donation is a GREAT idea... and i also agree that it will not take away from the GE because a) the donation can be a small amount and b) it won' tbe on a nearly as large scale as the GE>. maybe a letter once a month or a birthday gift... things that the GE doens't cover.. come on admin!! it's great right |

| Well hopefully we aren't the only 2 who think so. (as far as donation requirement and own section) Maybe admins tired tonight or better yet watching the grammy's hopefully they'll respond soon. |

| Well hopefully admin will check it out soon. Pepe Mint had a great idea and I think it could work. It's all up to admin now. Just let us know if it's doable and the best way to go about it and how much you need. I'd be happy to help out. |

| Raising money for this site sounds great and all but I don't think you should have to pay. I feel maybe some who want to do the GE can't due to the money part, and this way they could join in if they choose too and not have to pay. JMO

| I think this is such a great idea! Am I the only one who get overly excited to receive an actual CARD in the mail??? I don't mind if there's a fee involved, but I do understand that paying might prohibit some from participating. Either way, count us in! CJ & Muffin

| I understand you completely. If there was a fee it would be minimal or admin can just leave it as a free will donation no mandatory amount. If we don't do donations some rule would have to be in place such as number of posts (which I'm not sure is such a great idea) with something like this we want to make sure people are committed. The money was a suggestion to help YT out. If you have any other suggestions let us know |
