9th ANNUAL ONLINE MOONRIDGE AUCTION - 2011 This year, we're suspending the auction itself, but we are holding the Animal Adoption portion of the charity event for Moonridge. Why aren't we doing an auction this year? In looking at both the current economy, the heavy workload at Moonridge (as they continue to work on the building the new zoo) and the amount of authors who are still working on stories from past years, it seemed the best thing for everyone to give the auction a brief rest. This will allow folks to save up for the BIG and FINAL auction that will take place just before the Grand Opening of the New Zoo. It will also give authors the chance to catch up, thus taking some of the pressure off their brilliant shoulders. And finally, it will lessen the paperwork and inundation of Paypals into the Moonridge offices during this very busy time. The new zoo is funded but we've always been here for the animals, and they still need our attention, love and adopting. Hence, you still have this opportunity to adopt some wonderful animals, including a few NEWBIES to the auction! For those who adopt each year at the actual charity event at Moonridge, this will allow you to continue that support and for those who've never been able to attend, this still gives you the opportunity to sponsor one of the beautiful creatures protected by Moonridge Animal Park. And yes, Garett is still very much attached to the zoo. This year's adoption event is, as always, in his name as we support his chosen charity both in gratitude for the years of enjoyment he gave us as Blair Sandburg in The Sentinel, and the years that he's given of himself at the annual event in Big Bear. The method for animal adoptions has not changed, but for those who are new to our Online Charity Event - and to remind everyone else - below, please find the FAQ for adopting. *** FAQ Q: When can we begin adopting? A: Saturday, July 2nd and ending Saturday, July 30th Q: Where can I see the animals and how do I adopt? A: To view the animals, simply click on the menu option above: "Animal Adoption Page". Once there, decide on the animal/s you wish to adopt. The cost for each animal is $25. Then decide on your payment method, which are:
If you choose Paypal, then once you've decided which animal/s, you simply send your Paypal directly to Moonridge via this email address: Make sure you include your name, address, the animal/s name/s and the phrase: "For the Online Adoption in Garett's Name". If you don't, Moonridge can't send you the adoption papers and photo/s of the animal/s you've adopted. Once you've sent your Paypal to Moonridge, you must send a copy to me at: Sending me a copy is the only way I can track the animals and the amount we've raised (after all, it's not Moonridge's job to keep our totals *g*). If paying via Check or Money Order, you do NOT send them to Moonridge. All checks and money orders need to come to me so I can log the amount and animals before I mail them all to Moonridge at the conclusion of the auction (this also aids them in dealing with too much mail). However - make the check or money order out to: "FRIENDS OF THE MOONRIDGE ZOO" And then send to: Allison French 30751 El Corazon #225 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 And again, make sure the check/money order names the animal/s and contains the same phrase as required for a Paypal (or include the information on a note attached to the check/money order). At the conclusion of the Adoption period, I'll send a list of animals adopted along with the amounts so that Moonridge and I can compare our numbers and make any needed corrections, additions, etc. In the past, some fans have not received adoption papers or photos of their animals - this has occurred for one of two reasons:
