This is an outstanding idea for rescue organizations and shelters! Sharon is very dedicated to her rescue group, and obviously has a very creative mind.

Was reading your most recent column and thought about an annual fundraiser our cat rescue does every year - Pet Photos with Santa. We have a top-notch digital photographer who donates his time and on the spot printer (folks go home with either a cd or a digital print, all for only $20). This helps us raise funds to support our rescue work.
Attached 2 photos from 2004. Perhaps some of your readers look for ideas on how to help their rescue efforts...
